This patch adds a 'flags' field to the umem_config and umem_reg structs.
This will allow for more options to be added for configuring umems.
The first use for the flags field is to add a flag for unaligned chunks
mode. These flags can either be user-provided or filled with a default.
Since we change the size of the xsk_umem_config struct, we need to version
the ABI. This patch includes the ABI versioning for xsk_umem__create. The
Makefile was also updated to handle multiple function versions in
check-abi.

This commit adds support for the new need_wakeup flag in AF_XDP. The
xsk_socket__create function is updated to handle this and a new
function is introduced called xsk_ring_prod__needs_wakeup(). This
function can be used by the application to check if Rx and/or Tx
processing needs to be explicitly woken up.

The typical XDP memory scheme is one packet per page. Change the AF_XDP
frame size in libbpf to 4096, which is the page size on x86, to allow
libbpf to be used with the drivers with the packet-per-page scheme.
Add a command line option -f to xdpsock to allow to specify a custom
frame size.

The full memory barrier in the XDP socket rings on the consumer side
between the load of the data and the store of the consumer ring is
there to protect the store from being executed before the load of the
data. If this was allowed to happen, the producer might overwrite the
data field with a new entry before the consumer got the chance to read
it.
On x86, stores are guaranteed not to be reordered with older loads, so
it does not need a full memory barrier here. A compile time barrier
would be enough. This patch introdcues a new primitive in
libbpf_util.h that implements a new barrier type (libbpf_smp_rwmb)
hindering stores to be reordered with older loads. It is then used in
the XDP socket ring access code in libbpf to improve performance.

The use of smp_rmb() and smp_wmb() creates a Linux header dependency
on barrier.h that is unnecessary in most parts. This patch implements
the two small defines that are needed from barrier.h. As a bonus, the
new implementations are faster than the default ones as they default
to sfence and lfence for x86, while we only need a compiler barrier in
our case. Just as it is when the same ring access code is compiled in
the kernel.

This patch removes the use of likely and unlikely in xsk.h since they
create a dependency on Linux headers as reported by several
users. There have also been reports that the use of these decreases
performance as the compiler puts the code on two different cache lines
instead of on a single one. All in all, I think we are better off
without them.

The ring buffer code of XDP sockets is missing a memory barrier on the
consumer side between the load of the data and the write that signals
that it is ok for the producer to put new data into the buffer. On
architectures that does not guarantee that stores are not reordered
with older loads, the producer might put data into the ring before the
consumer had the chance to read it. As IA does guarantee this
ordering, it would only need a compiler barrier here, but there are no
primitives in barrier.h for this specific case (hinder writes to be ordered
before older reads) so I had to add a smp_mb() here which will
translate into a run-time synch operation on IA.

This commit adds AF_XDP support to libbpf. The main reason for this is
to facilitate writing applications that use AF_XDP by offering
higher-level APIs that hide many of the details of the AF_XDP
uapi. This is in the same vein as libbpf facilitates XDP adoption by
offering easy-to-use higher level interfaces of XDP
functionality. Hopefully this will facilitate adoption of AF_XDP, make
applications using it simpler and smaller, and finally also make it
possible for applications to benefit from optimizations in the AF_XDP
user space access code. Previously, people just copied and pasted the
code from the sample application into their application, which is not
desirable.
The interface is composed of two parts:
* Low-level access interface to the four rings and the packet
* High-level control plane interface for creating and setting
up umems and af_xdp sockets as well as a simple XDP program.
