bpftool: Add struct_ops support

This patch adds struct_ops support to the bpftool.

To recap a bit on the recent bpf_struct_ops feature on the kernel side:
It currently supports "struct tcp_congestion_ops" to be implemented
in bpf.  At a high level, bpf_struct_ops is struct_ops map populated
with a number of bpf progs.  bpf_struct_ops currently supports the
"struct tcp_congestion_ops".  However, the bpf_struct_ops design is
generic enough that other kernel struct ops can be supported in
the future.

Although struct_ops is map+progs at a high lever, there are differences
in details.  For example,
1) After registering a struct_ops, the struct_ops is held by the kernel
   subsystem (e.g. tcp-cc).  Thus, there is no need to pin a
   struct_ops map or its progs in order to keep them around.
2) To iterate all struct_ops in a system, it iterates all maps
   in type BPF_MAP_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS.  BPF_MAP_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS is
   the current usual filter.  In the future, it may need to
   filter by other struct_ops specif...
