bpftool: Add -Wformat-signedness flag to detect format errors

This commit adds the -Wformat-signedness compiler flag to detect and
prevent printf format errors, where signed or unsigned types are
mismatched with format specifiers. This helps to catch potential issues at
compile-time, ensuring that our code is more robust and reliable. With
this flag, the compiler will now warn about incorrect format strings, such
as using %d with unsigned types or %u with signed types.
