Add a field in bpf_attr which contains a signature for the eBPF instructions.
The signature is validated bpf_prog_load() in a similar way as kernel modules
are checked in load_module().

This only works with CO-RE programs.
The signature is generated by bpftool and embedded into the light skeleton
along with the instructions.
The bpftool crypto code is based on sign-file, supports the same interface,
and is compiled only if libcrypto is available, to avoid potential breaks.

Possible improvements:
- Add a knob which makes the signature check mandatory,
  similarly to CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_FORCE
- Add a dedicate key_being_used_for type instead of using
  VERIFYING_MODULE_SIGNATURE, e.g. VERIFYING_BPF_SIGNATURE

This depends on the kernel side co-re relocation[1].
