perf bpf: Add struct bpf_map struct

A helper structure used by eBPF C program to describe map attributes to elf_bpf loader, to be used initially by the special __bpf_stdout__ map used to print strings into the perf ring buffer in BPF scripts, e.g.:

Using the upcoming stdio.h and puts() macros to use the __bpf_stdout__ map to add strings to the ring buffer:

  # cat tools/perf/examples/bpf/hello.c
  #include <stdio.h>

int syscall_enter(openat)(void *args)

  {
	  puts("Hello, world\n");
	  return 0;

}

  [llvm]
	dump-obj = true
  # perf trace -e openat,tools/perf/examples/bpf/hello.c/call-graph=dwarf/ cat /etc/passwd > /dev/null
