Currently, test_perf_branches_no_hw() relies on the busy loop within
test_perf_branches_common() being slow enough to allow at least one
perf event sample tick to occur before starting to tear down the
backing perf event BPF program. With a relatively small fixed
iteration count of 1,000,000, this is not guaranteed on modern fast
CPUs, resulting in the test run to subsequently fail with the
following:

Successfully unloaded bpf_testmod.ko.
On a modern CPU (i.e. one with a 3.5 GHz clock rate), executing 1
million increments of a volatile integer can take significantly less
than 1 millisecond. If the spin loop and detachment of the perf event
BPF program elapses before the first 1 ms sampling interval elapses,
the perf event will never end up firing. Fix this by bumping the loop
iteration counter a little within test_perf_branches_common(), along
with ensuring adding another loop termination condition which is
directly influenced by the backing perf event BPF program
executing. Notably, a concious decision was made to not adjust the
sample_freq value as that is just not a reliable way to go about
fixing the problem. It effectively still leaves the race window open.

Gracefully skip the test_perf_branches_hw subtest on platforms that
do not support LBR or require specialized perf event attributes
to enable branch sampling.
For example, AMD's Milan (Zen 3) supports BRS rather than traditional
LBR. This requires specific configurations (attr.type = PERF_TYPE_RAW,
attr.config = RETIRED_TAKEN_BRANCH_INSTRUCTIONS) that differ from the
generic setup used within this test. Notably, it also probably doesn't
hold much value to special case perf event configurations for selected
micro architectures.

Linux kernel may automatically reduce kernel.perf_event_max_sample_rate
value when running tests in parallel on slow systems. Linux kernel checks
against this limit when opening perf event with freq=1 parameter set.
The lower bound is 1000. This patch reduces sample_freq value to 1000
in all BPF tests that use sample_freq to ensure they always can open
perf event.

Turn ony libbpf 1.0 mode. Fix all the explicit IS_ERR checks that now will be
broken because libbpf returns NULL on error (and sets errno). Fix
ASSERT_OK_PTR and ASSERT_ERR_PTR to work for both old mode and new modes and
use them throughout selftests. This is trivial to do by using
libbpf_get_error() API that all libbpf users are supposed to use, instead of
IS_ERR checks.
A bunch of checks also did explicit -1 comparison for various fd-returning
APIs. Such checks are replaced with >= 0 or < 0 cases.
There were also few misuses of bpf_object__find_map_by_name() in test_maps.
Those are fixed in this patch as well.

Add a selftest to test:
* default bpf_read_branch_records() behavior
* BPF_F_GET_BRANCH_RECORDS_SIZE flag behavior
* error path on non branch record perf events
* using helper to write to stack
* using helper to write to global
On host with hardware counter support:
# ./test_progs -t perf_branches
#27/1 perf_branches_hw:OK
#27/2 perf_branches_no_hw:OK
#27 perf_branches:OK
Summary: 1/2 PASSED, 0 SKIPPED, 0 FAILED
On host without hardware counter support (VM):
# ./test_progs -t perf_branches
#27/1 perf_branches_hw:OK
#27/2 perf_branches_no_hw:OK
#27 perf_branches:OK
Summary: 1/2 PASSED, 1 SKIPPED, 0 FAILED
Also sync tools/include/uapi/linux/bpf.h.
