Enhance existing selftests to demonstrate the use of custom
.data/.rodata sections.

Signed-off-by: Andrii Nakryiko <andrii@xxxxxxxxxx>

Just a thought, but wouldn't the actual demo / use case be better to show that we can
now have a __read_mostly attribute which implies SEC(".data.read_mostly") section?

Would be nice to add a ...

  #define __read_mostly    SEC(".data.read_mostly")

... into tools/lib/bpf/bpf_helpers.h along with the series for use out of BPF programs
as I think this should be a rather common use case. Thoughts?
