bpftool: Probe for bounded loop support



This patch introduces a new probe to check whether the verifier supports
bounded loops as introduced in commit 2589726d ("bpf: introduce
bounded loops"). This patch will allow BPF users such as Cilium to probe
for loop support on startup and only unconditionally unroll loops on
older kernels.

The results are displayed as part of the miscellaneous section, as shown
below.

  $ bpftool feature probe | grep loops
  Bounded loop support is available
  $ bpftool feature probe macro | grep LOOPS
  #define HAVE_BOUNDED_LOOPS
  $ bpftool feature probe -j | jq .misc
  {
    "have_large_insn_limit": true,
    "have_bounded_loops": true
  }
