Dave Marchevsky c2758baa97 libbpf: Modify bpf_printk to choose helper based on arg count
Instead of being a thin wrapper which calls into bpf_trace_printk,
libbpf's bpf_printk convenience macro now chooses between
bpf_trace_printk and bpf_trace_vprintk. If the arg count (excluding
format string) is >3, use bpf_trace_vprintk, otherwise use the older
helper.

The motivation behind this added complexity - instead of migrating
entirely to bpf_trace_vprintk - is to maintain good developer experience
for users compiling against new libbpf but running on older kernels.
Users who are passing <=3 args to bpf_printk will see no change in their
bytecode.

__bpf_vprintk functions similarly to BPF_SEQ_PRINTF and BPF_SNPRINTF
macros elsewhere in the file - it allows use of bpf_trace_vprintk
without manual conversion of varargs to u64 array. Previous
implementation of bpf_printk macro is moved to __bpf_printk for use by
the new implementation.

This does change behavior of bpf_printk calls with >3 args in the "new
libbpf, old kernels" scenario. Before this patch, attempting to use 4
args to bpf_printk results in a compile-time error. After this patch,
using bpf_printk with 4 args results in a trace_vprintk helper call
being emitted and a load-time failure on older kernels.
