Load and pin the tc-bpf program in pping.c using libbpf, and only
attach the pinned program using iproute. That way, can use features
that are not supported by the old iproute loader, even if iproute does
not have libbpf support.
To support this change, extend bpf_egress_loader with option to load
pinned program. Additionally, remove configure script and parts of
Makefile that are no longer needed. Furthermore, remove multiple
definitions of ts_start map, and place singular definition in
pping_helpers.h which is included by both BPF programs.
Also, some minor fixes based on Toke's review.

Perform various fixes and tweaks:
- Rename several defines to make them more informative
- Remove unrolling of loop in BPF programs
- Reuse defines for program sections between userspace and kernel
space programs
- Perform fork+exec to run bpf_egress_loader script instead of
system()
- Add comment to copied scripts indicating I've modified them
- Add pping.h and pping_helpers.h as dependencies in Makefile
Also, add a brief description of what PPing is and how it works to
README

Copy setup from traffic-pacing-edt to use BTF-defined map if configure
detects that iproute2 has libbpf support, otherwise fall back on
bpf_elf_map. Also fix a minor bug with setting default value for SEC
in bpf_egress_loader.sh.

Split and rename files so there is one userspace program (pping) and
two kernel-space ones (one for XDP and one for TC-BPF).
Copy the shell script for loading the TC-BPF program from
traffic-pacing-edt folder, but add support for loading a specific
section.
The XDP and TC-BPF programs do not share the ts_start map, so program
does not work.
