[PATCH bpf-next v2] libbpf:Improved usability of the Makefile in libbpf

[Xin Liu]

Current libbpf Makefile does not contain the help command, which
is inconvenient to use. Similar to the Makefile help command of the
perf, a help command is provided to list the commands supported by
libbpf make and the functions of the commands.

v2: Simplified display. Some unused commands are displayed in the help command. 

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20221129074235.116969-1-liuxin350@huawei.com/
