Add selftest that combines two BPF programs within single BPF object file such that one of the programs is using global variables, but can be skipped at runtime on old kernels that don't support global data. Another BPF program is written with the goal to be runnable on very old kernels and only relies on explicitly accessed BPF maps. Such test, run against old kernels (e.g., libbpf CI will run it against 4.9 kernel that doesn't support global data), allows to test the approach and ensure that libbpf doesn't make unnecessary assumption about necessary kernel features.

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.
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.
