selftests/bpf: tests for register base/step state pruning

This commit adds tests for base/step reasoning in range_within(), including
tests like step_prune_hit_multiple and step_prune_miss_non_multiple.

[Severity: Medium]
Will this selftest fail verification due to leaking a stack pointer?

It appears that r0 is assigned a stack address (r0 = r10; r0 += r6;), but is
not reset to a valid scalar value before the exit instruction. As a
SEC("socket") program, the verifier requires r0 to be a valid scalar upon
exit, and returning a pointer to the stack will cause the verifier to reject
the program with an 'R0 leaks addr' error.

Since this test is marked with __success, wouldn't this verifier rejection
cause the test case to fail? Should r0 be reset (e.g., r0 = 0;) before exit,
similar to how it is done in step_prune_miss_non_multiple()?
