[RFC PATCH v3 22/37] bpf tools: Relocate eBPF programs

If an eBPF program access a map, LLVM generates a relocated load
instruction. To enable the usage of that map, relocation must be done
by replacing original instructions by map loading instructions.

Based on relocation description collected during 'opening' phase, this
patch replaces the instructions with map loading with correct map fd.
