Add fmod_ret BPF program to existing test_overhead selftest. Also re-implement user-space benchmarking part into benchmark runner to compare results. Results with ./bench are consistently somewhat lower than test_overhead's, but relative performance of various types of BPF programs stay consisten (e.g., kretprobe is noticeably slower). This slowdown seems to be coming from the fact that test_overhead is single-threaded, while benchmark always spins off at least one thread for producer. This has been confirmed by hacking multi-threaded test_overhead variant and also single-threaded bench variant. Resutls are below. run_bench_rename.sh script from benchs/ subdirectory was used to produce results for ./bench.
