Introduce support for `bpf_rdonly_cast(v, 0)`, which casts the value
`v` to an untyped, untrusted pointer, logically similar to a `void *`.
The memory pointed to by such a pointer is treated as read-only.
As with other untrusted pointers, memory access violations on loads
return zero instead of causing a fault.
Technically:
- The resulting pointer is represented as a register of type
`PTR_TO_MEM | MEM_RDONLY | PTR_UNTRUSTED` with size zero.
- Offsets within such pointers are not tracked.
- Same load instructions are allowed to have both
`PTR_TO_MEM | MEM_RDONLY | PTR_UNTRUSTED` and `PTR_TO_BTF_ID`
as the base pointer types.
In such cases, `bpf_insn_aux_data->ptr_type` is considered the
weaker of the two: `PTR_TO_MEM | MEM_RDONLY | PTR_UNTRUSTED`.
The following constraints apply to the new pointer type:
- can be used as a base for LDX instructions;
- can't be used as a base for ST/STX or atomic instructions;
- can't be used as parameter for kfuncs or helpers.
These constraints are enforced by existing handling of `MEM_RDONLY`
flag and `PTR_TO_MEM` of size zero.
