bpftool: Add support for custom BTF path in prog load/loadall

This patch exposes the btf_custom_path feature to bpftool, allowing users
to specify a custom BTF file when loading BPF programs using prog load or
prog loadall commands.

The argument 'btf_custom_path' in libbpf is used for those kernels that
don't have CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF enabled but still want to perform CO-RE
relocations.

program does not support autoattach, bpftool falls back to regular pinning
for that program instead.
The **kernel_btf** option allows specifying an external BTF file to replace
the system's own vmlinux BTF file for CO-RE relocations. Note that any
other feature relying on BTF (such as fentry/fexit programs, struct_ops)
requires the BTF file for the actual kernel running on the host, often
exposed at /sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux.

character ('.'), which is reserved for future extensions of *bpffs*.
