Implement error reporting changes discussed in "Libbpf: the road to v1.0"
([0]) document.

Libbpf gets a new API, libbpf_set_strict_mode() which accepts a set of flags
that turn on a set of libbpf 1.0 changes, that might be potentially breaking.
It's possible to opt-in into all current and future 1.0 features by specifying
LIBBPF_STRICT_ALL flag.

When some of the 1.0 "features" are requested, libbpf APIs might behave
differently. In this patch set a first set of changes are implemented, all
related to the way libbpf returns errors. See individual patches for details.

Patch #1 adds a no-op libbpf_set_strict_mode() functionality to enable
updating selftests.

Patch #2 gets rid of all the bad code patterns that will break in libbpf 1.0
(exact -1 comparison for low-level APIs, direct IS_ERR() macro usage to check
pointer-returning APIs for error, etc). These changes make selftest work in
both legacy and 1.0 libbpf modes. Selftests also opt-in into 100% libbpf 1.0
mode to automatically gain all the subsequent changes, which will come in
follow up patches.

Patch #3 streamlines error reporting for low-level APIs wrapping bpf() syscall.

Patch #4 streamlines errors for all the rest APIs.

Patch #5 ensures that BPF skeletons propagate errors properly as well, as
currently on error some APIs will return NULL with no way of checking exact
error code.

Andrii Nakryiko (5):
  libbpf: add libbpf_set_strict_mode() API to turn on libbpf 1.0
    behaviors
  selftests/bpf: turn on libbpf 1.0 mode and fix all IS_ERR checks
  libbpf: streamline error reporting for low-level APIs
  libbpf: streamline error reporting for high-level APIs
  bpftool: set errno on skeleton failures and propagate errors
