Adding bpf_program__set_insns that allows to set new
instructions for program.

Also moving bpf_program__attach_kprobe_multi_opts on
the proper name sorted place in map file.

Iiuc, patch 2 should be squashed into this one given they logically belong to the
same change?

Fwiw, I think the API description should be elaborated a bit more, in particular that
the passed-in insns need to be from allocated dynamic memory which is later on passed
to free(), and maybe also constraints at which point in time bpf_program__set_insns()
may be called.. (as well as high-level description on potential use cases e.g. around
patch 4).
