Currently LLVM fails to recognize .data.* as data section and defaults to .text
section. Later BPF backend tries to emit 4-byte NOP instruction which doesn't
exist in BPF ISA and aborts.
The fix for LLVM is pending:
https://reviews.llvm.org/D138477
While waiting for the fix lets workaround the linked_list test case
by using .bss.* prefix which is properly recognized by LLVM as BSS section.
Fix libbpf to support .bss. prefix and adjust tests.

Preparing the metadata for bpf_list_head involves a complicated parsing
step and type resolution for the contained value. Ensure that corner
cases are tested against and invalid specifications in source are duly
rejected. Also include tests for incorrect ownership relationships in
the BTF.

Include various tests covering the success and failure cases. Also, run
the success cases at runtime to verify correctness of linked list
manipulation routines, in addition to ensuring successful verification.
