bpf: add array type of eBPF maps

add new map type BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY and its implementation

- optimized for fastest possible lookup()
  . in the future verifier/JIT may recognize lookup() with constant key
    and optimize it into constant pointer. Can optimize non-constant
    key into direct pointer arithmetic as well, since pointers and
    value_size are constant for the life of the eBPF program.
    In other words array_map_lookup_elem() may be 'inlined' by verifier/JIT
    while preserving concurrent access to this map from user space

- two main use cases for array type:
  . 'global' eBPF variables: array of 1 element with key=0 and value is a
    collection of 'global' variables which programs can use to keep the state
    between events
  . aggregation of tracing events into fixed set of buckets

- all array elements pre-allocated and zero initialized at init time

- key as an index in array and can only be 4 byte

- map_delete_elem() returns EINVAL, since elements cannot be deleted

- map_update_elem() replaces elements in an non-atomic way
  (for atomic updates hashtable type should be used instead)
