Joanne Koong b5964b968a bpf: Add skb dynptrs
Add skb dynptrs, which are dynptrs whose underlying pointer points
to a skb. The dynptr acts on skb data. skb dynptrs have two main
benefits. One is that they allow operations on sizes that are not
statically known at compile-time (eg variable-sized accesses).
Another is that parsing the packet data through dynptrs (instead of
through direct access of skb->data and skb->data_end) can be more
ergonomic and less brittle (eg does not need manual if checking for
being within bounds of data_end).

For bpf prog types that don't support writes on skb data, the dynptr is
read-only (bpf_dynptr_write() will return an error)

For reads and writes through the bpf_dynptr_read() and bpf_dynptr_write()
interfaces, reading and writing from/to data in the head as well as from/to
non-linear paged buffers is supported. Data slices through the
bpf_dynptr_data API are not supported; instead bpf_dynptr_slice() and
bpf_dynptr_slice_rdwr() (added in subsequent commit) should be used.

For examples of how skb dynptrs can be used, please see the attached
selftests.
