bpf: simplify narrower ctx access

This work tries to make the semantics and code around the
narrower ctx access a bit easier to follow. Right now
everything is done inside the .is_valid_access(). Offset
matching is done differently for read/write types, meaning
writes don't support narrower access and thus matching only
on offsetof(struct foo, bar) is enough whereas for read
case that supports narrower access we must check for
offsetof(struct foo, bar) + offsetof(struct foo, bar) +
sizeof(<bar>) - 1 for each of the cases. For read cases of
individual members that don't support narrower access (like
packet pointers or skb->cb[] case which has its own narrow
access logic), we check as usual only offsetof(struct foo,
bar) like in write case. Then, for the case where narrower
access is allowed, we also need to set the aux info for the
access. Meaning, ctx_field_size and converted_op_size have
to be set. First is the original field size e.g. sizeof(<bar>)
as in above example from the user facing ctx, and latte...
