bpf: Support readonly/readwrite buffers in verifier

Readonly and readwrite buffer register states
are introduced. Totally four states,
PTR_TO_RDONLY_BUF[_OR_NULL] and PTR_TO_RDWR_BUF[_OR_NULL]
are supported. As suggested by their respective
names, PTR_TO_RDONLY_BUF[_OR_NULL] are for
readonly buffers and PTR_TO_RDWR_BUF[_OR_NULL]
for read/write buffers.

These new register states will be used
by later bpf map element iterator.

New register states share some similarity to
PTR_TO_TP_BUFFER as it will calculate accessed buffer
size during verification time. The accessed buffer
size will be later compared to other metrics during
later attach/link_create time.

Similar to reg_state PTR_TO_BTF_ID_OR_NULL in bpf
iterator programs, PTR_TO_RDONLY_BUF_OR_NULL or
PTR_TO_RDWR_BUF_OR_NULL reg_types can be set at
prog->aux->bpf_ctx_arg_aux, and bpf verifier will
retrieve the values during btf_ctx_access().
Later bpf map element iterator implementation
will show how such information will be assigned
during target registeration time.

The verifier is also enhanced such that PTR_TO_RDONLY_BUF
can be passed to ARG_PTR_TO_MEM[_OR_NULL] helper argument, and
PTR_TO_RDWR_BUF can be passed to ARG_PTR_TO_MEM[_OR_NULL] or
ARG_PTR_TO_UNINIT_MEM.
