Provide a new Makefile.helpers in tools/bpf, in order to build and install the man page for eBPF helpers. This Makefile is also included in the one used to build bpftool documentation, so that it can be called either on its own (cd tools/bpf && make -f Makefile.helpers) or from bpftool directory (cd tools/bpf/bpftool && make doc, or cd tools/bpf/bpftool/Documentation && make helpers). Makefile.helpers is not added directly to bpftool to avoid changing its Makefile too much (helpers are not 100% directly related with bpftool). But the possibility to build the page from bpftool directory makes us able to package the helpers man page with bpftool, and to install it along with bpftool documentation, so that the doc for helpers becomes easily available to developers through the "man" program.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
