bpf: add minimal BPF JIT emitted image disassembler

This is a minimal stand-alone user space helper, that allows for debugging or
verification of emitted BPF JIT images. This is in particular useful for
emitted opcode debugging, since minor bugs in the JIT compiler can be fatal.
The disassembler is architecture generic and uses libopcodes and libbfd.

How to get to the disassembly, example:

  1) `echo 2 > /proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_enable`
  2) Load a BPF filter (e.g. `tcpdump -p -n -s 0 -i eth1 host 192.168.20.0/24`)
  3) Run e.g. `bpf_jit_disasm -o` to disassemble the most recent JIT code output

`bpf_jit_disasm -o` will display the related opcodes to a particular instruction
as well. Example for x86_64:

$./bpf_jit_disasm
94 bytes emitted from JIT compiler (pass:3, flen:9)
ffffffffa0356000 + <x>:
   0:	push   %rbp
   1:	mov    %rsp,%rbp
   4:	sub    $0x60,%rsp
   8:	mov    %rbx,-0x8(%rbp)
   c:	mov    0x68(%rdi),%r9d
  10:	sub    0x6c(%rdi),%r9d
  14:	mov    0xe0(%rdi),%r8
  1b:	mov    $0xc,%esi
  20:	callq  0xffffffffe0d01b71
  25:	cmp    $0x86dd,%eax
  2a:	jne    0x000000000000003d
  2c:	mov    $0x14,%esi
  31:	callq  0xffffffffe0d01b8d
  36:	cmp    $0x6,%eax
[...]
  5c:	leaveq
  5d:	retq

$ ./bpf_jit_disasm -o

   0:	push   %rbp

   1:	mov    %rsp,%rbp

	48 83 ec 60
   8:	mov    %rbx,-0x8(%rbp)
	48 89 5d f8
   c:	mov    0x68(%rdi),%r9d

	c3

Note that this is also part of the Linux kernel source tree under
tools/net/. We also keep a copy of it here, since it is quite useful
in conjunction with bpfc for debugging purposes. However, we do not
integrate this small helper into the main build process. People who
care to have this need to compile it on their own which is not a big
deal.
