Dave Marchevsky c31315c3aa bpf, documentation: Add graph documentation for non-owning refs
It is difficult to intuit the semantics of owning and non-owning
references from verifier code. In order to keep the high-level details
from being lost in the mailing list, this patch adds documentation
explaining semantics and details.

The target audience of doc added in this patch is folks working on BPF
internals, as there's focus on "what should the verifier do here". Via
reorganization or copy-and-paste, much of the content can probably be
repurposed for BPF program writer audience as well.
