Merge branch 'samples/bpf: modernize BPF functionality test programs'

"Daniel T. Lee" says:

====================

Currently, there are many programs under samples/bpf to test the
various functionality of BPF that have been developed for a long time.
However, the kernel (BPF) has changed a lot compared to the 2016 when
some of these test programs were first introduced.

Therefore, some of these programs use the deprecated function of BPF,
and some programs no longer work normally due to changes in the API.

To list some of the kernel changes that this patch set is focusing on,
- legacy BPF map declaration syntax support had been dropped [1]
- bpf_trace_printk() always append newline at the end [2]
- deprecated styled BPF section header (bpf_load style) [3]
- urandom_read tracepoint is removed (used for testing overhead) [4]
- ping sends packet with SOCK_DGRAM instead of SOCK_RAW [5]*
- use "vmlinux.h" instead of including individual headers

In addition to this, this patchset tries to modernize the existing
testing scripts a bit. And for network-related testing programs,
a separate header file was created and applied. (To use the
Endianness conversion function from xdp_sample and bunch of constants)

[4]: commit 14c174633f34 ("random: remove unused tracepoints")

*: This is quite old, but I'm not sure why the code was initially
   developed to filter only SOCK_RAW.
