Previously, the verifier was treating all PTR_TO_STACK registers passed
to a helper call as potentially written to by the helper. However, all
calls to check_stack_range_initialized() already have precise access type
information available.
Rather than treat ACCESS_HELPER as a proxy for BPF_WRITE, pass
enum bpf_access_type to check_stack_range_initialized() to more
precisely track helper arguments.
One benefit from this precision is that registers tracked as valid
spills and passed as a read-only helper argument remain tracked after
the call. Rather than being marked STACK_MISC afterwards.
An additional benefit is the verifier logs are also more precise. For
this particular error, users will enjoy a slightly clearer message. See
included selftest updates for examples.

Add a __caps_unpriv annotation so that tests requiring specific
capabilities while dropping the rest can conveniently specify them
during selftest declaration instead of munging with capabilities at
runtime from the testing binary.
While at it, let us convert test_verifier_mtu to use this new support
instead.
Since we do not want to include linux/capability.h, we only defined the
four main capabilities BPF subsystem deals with in bpf_misc.h for use in
tests. If the user passes a CAP_SYS_NICE or anything else that's not
defined in the header, capability parsing code will return a warning.
Also reject strtol returning 0. CAP_CHOWN = 0 but we'll never need to
use it, and strtol doesn't errno on failed conversion. Fail the test in
such a case.
The original diff for this idea is available at link [0].
