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.
