This patchset adds the ability to specify a table ID to the
`bpf_fib_lookup` BPF helper. 

A new `tbid` field is added to `struct fib_bpf_lookup`.
When the `fib_bpf_lookup` helper is called with the
`BPF_FIB_LOOKUP_DIRECT` flag and the `tbid` is set to an integer greater
then 0, the `tbid` field will be interpreted as the table ID to use for
the fib lookup.

If the `tbid` specifies a table that does not exist the lookup fails
with `BPF_FIB_LKUP_RET_NOT_FWDED`

This functionality is useful in containerized environments. 

For instance, if a CNI wants to dictate the next-hop for traffic leaving
a container it can create a container-specific routing table and perform
a fib lookup against this table in a "host-net-namespace-side" TC program.

This functionality also allows `ip rule` like functionality at the TC
layer, allowing an eBPF program to pick a routing table based on some
aspect of the sk_buff.

As a concrete use case, this feature will be used in Cilium's SRv6 L3VPN
datapath. 
When egress traffic leaves a Pod an eBPF program attached by Cilium will
determine which VRF the egress traffic should target, and then perform a
FIB lookup in a specific table representing this VRF's FIB.

The existing `fib_lookup.c` bpf selftest was appended several test cases
to ensure this feature works as expected. 

```
$ sudo ./test_progs -a "*fib*"

Summary: 1/0 PASSED, 0 SKIPPED, 0 FAILED
```
