Couldn't do it :( Because selftest is using running kernel's BTF to
find out maximum BPF map type. But that maximum on a slightly outdated
kernel could be something that libbpf actually knows about and
supports (because it was compiled against the latest kernel UAPI
headers). So at run time libbpf returns 0 (correct answer, not
map/prog is not supported), but not the expected -EOPNOTSUPP. And I
don't want to hardcode the maximum enum values (like
BPF_MAP_TYPE_BLOOM_FILTER, as of now), because every time we add new
map we'll need to fix selftests in the same patch, which is a bit
annoying, I think.

If we had equivalents of __BPF_FUNC_MAX_ID for bpf_map_type and
bpf_prog_type, we could have just used those constants, so maybe we
should do that instead?

Regardless, I'm sending selftests as they are right now and we can
follow up with UAPI additions and selftests improvements separately.
