bpf: Support refcounted local kptrs in existing semantics

A local kptr is considered 'refcounted' when it is of a type that has a
bpf_refcount field. When such a kptr is created, its refcount should be
initialized to 1; when destroyed, the object should be free'd only if a
refcount decr results in 0 refcount.

Existing logic always frees the underlying memory when destroying a
local kptr, and 0-initializes all btf_record fields. This patch adds
checks for "is local kptr refcounted?" and new logic for that case in
the appropriate places.

This patch focuses on changing existing semantics and thus conspicuously
does _not_ provide a way for BPF programs in increment refcount. That
follows later in the series.

__bpf_obj_drop_impl is modified to do the right thing when it sees a
refcounted type. Container types for graph nodes (list, tree, stashed in
map) are migrated to use __bpf_obj_drop_impl as a destructor for their
nodes instead of each having custom destruction code in their _free
paths. Now that "drop" isn't a synonym for "free" when the type is
refcounted it makes sense to centralize this logic.
