When compiling larger programs with bpf_asm, it's possible to accidentally exceed jt/jf range, in which case it won't complain, but rather silently emit a truncated offset, leading to a "happy debugging" situation. Add a warning to help detecting such issues. It could be made an error instead, but this might break compilation of existing code (which might be working by accident).
