Improve how we handle old BPF skeletons when it comes to BPF map auto-attachment. Emit one warn-level message per each struct_ops map that could have been auto-attached, if user provided recent enough BPF skeleton version. Don't spam log if there are no relevant struct_ops maps, though. This should help users realize that they probably need to regenerate BPF skeleton header with more recent bpftool/libbpf-cargo (or whatever other means of BPF skeleton generation).
