bpf: Add xdp dynptrs

Add xdp dynptrs, which are dynptrs whose underlying pointer points
to a xdp_buff. The dynptr acts on xdp data. xdp dynptrs have two main
benefits. One is that they allow operations on sizes that are not
statically known at compile-time (eg variable-sized accesses).
Another is that parsing the packet data through dynptrs (instead of
through direct access of xdp->data and xdp->data_end) can be more
ergonomic and less brittle (eg does not need manual if checking for
being within bounds of data_end).

For reads and writes on the dynptr, this includes reading/writing
from/to and across fragments. Data slices through the bpf_dynptr_data
API are not supported; instead bpf_dynptr_slice() and
bpf_dynptr_slice_rdwr() should be used.

For examples of how xdp dynptrs can be used, please see the attached
selftests.
