libbpf: Fix global variable relocation
Similarly to a0d7da26ce86 ("libbpf: Fix call relocation offset calculation
bug"), relocations against global variables need to take into account
referenced symbol's st_value, which holds offset into a corresponding data
section (and, subsequently, offset into internal backing map). For static
variables this offset is always zero and data offset is completely described
by respective instruction's imm field.
Convert a bunch of selftests to global variables. Previously they were relying
on `static volatile` trick to ensure Clang doesn't inline static variables,
which with global variables is not necessary anymore.
Fixes: 393cdfbee809 ("libbpf: Support initialized global variables")
