This is a small improvement in libbpf_strerror. When libbpf_strerror
is used to obtain the system error description, if the length of the
buf is insufficient, libbpf_sterror returns ERANGE and sets errno to
ERANGE.
However, this processing is not performed when the error code
customized by libbpf is obtained. Make some minor improvements here,
return -ERANGE and set errno to ERANGE when buf is not enough for
custom description.

Implement changes to error reporting for high-level libbpf APIs to make them
less surprising and less error-prone to users:
- in all the cases when error happens, errno is set to an appropriate error
value;
- in libbpf 1.0 mode, all pointer-returning APIs return NULL on error and
error code is communicated through errno; this applies both to APIs that
already returned NULL before (so now they communicate more detailed error
codes), as well as for many APIs that used ERR_PTR() macro and encoded
error numbers as fake pointers.
- in legacy (default) mode, those APIs that were returning ERR_PTR(err),
continue doing so, but still set errno.
With these changes, errno can be always used to extract actual error,
regardless of legacy or libbpf 1.0 modes. This is utilized internally in
libbpf in places where libbpf uses it's own high-level APIs.
libbpf_get_error() is adapted to handle both cases completely transparently to
end-users (and is used by libbpf consistently as well).
More context, justification, and discussion can be found in "Libbpf: the road
to v1.0" document ([0]).

It's been a recurring issue with types like u32 slipping into libbpf source
code accidentally. This is not detected during builds inside kernel source
tree, but becomes a compilation error in libbpf's Github repo. Libbpf is
supposed to use only __{s,u}{8,16,32,64} typedefs, so poison {s,u}{8,16,32,64}
explicitly in every .c file. Doing that in a bit more centralized way, e.g.,
inside libbpf_internal.h breaks selftests, which are both using kernel u32 and
libbpf_internal.h.
This patch also fixes a new u32 occurence in libbpf.c, added recently.

During porting libbpf to bcc, I got some warnings like below:
...
[ 2%] Building C object src/cc/CMakeFiles/bpf-shared.dir/libbpf/src/libbpf.c.o
/home/yhs/work/bcc2/src/cc/libbpf/src/libbpf.c:12:0:
warning: "_GNU_SOURCE" redefined [enabled by default]
#define _GNU_SOURCE
...
[ 3%] Building C object src/cc/CMakeFiles/bpf-shared.dir/libbpf/src/libbpf_errno.c.o
/home/yhs/work/bcc2/src/cc/libbpf/src/libbpf_errno.c: In function ‘libbpf_strerror’:

warning: assignment makes integer from pointer without a cast [enabled by default]
ret = strerror_r(err, buf, size);
...
bcc is built with _GNU_SOURCE defined and this caused the above warning.
This patch intends to make libpf _GNU_SOURCE friendly by
. define _GNU_SOURCE in libbpf.c unless it is not defined
. undefine _GNU_SOURCE as non-gnu version of strerror_r is expected.

libbpf is maturing as a library and gaining features that no other bpf libraries support
(BPF Type Format, bpf to bpf calls, etc)
Many Apache2 licensed projects (like bcc, bpftrace, gobpf, cilium, etc)
would like to use libbpf, but cannot do this yet, since Apache Foundation explicitly
states that LGPL is incompatible with Apache2.
Hence let's relicense libbpf as dual license LGPL-2.1 or BSD-2-Clause,
since BSD-2 is compatible with Apache2.
Dual LGPL or Apache2 is invalid combination.
Fix license mistake in Makefile as well.

This patch added a few netlink attribute parsing functions
and the netlink API functions to query networking links, tc classes,
tc qdiscs and tc filters. For example, the following API is
to get networking links:
int nl_get_link(int sock, unsigned int nl_pid,
dump_nlmsg_t dump_link_nlmsg,
void *cookie);
Note that when the API is called, the user also provided a
callback function with the following signature:
int (*dump_nlmsg_t)(void *cookie, void *msg, struct nlattr **tb);
The "cookie" is the parameter the user passed to the API and will
be available for the callback function.
The "msg" is the information about the result, e.g., ifinfomsg or
tcmsg. The "tb" is the parsed netlink attributes.

libbpf_strerror() depends on XSI-compliant (POSIX) version of
strerror_r(), which prevents us from using GNU-extensions in
libbpf.c, like reallocarray() or dup3(). Move error printing
code into a separate file to allow it to continue using POSIX
strerror_r().
No functional changes.
