The current bpf_helper_defs.h helpers are llvm specific and don't work
correctly with gcc.

GCC appears to required kernel helper funcs to have the following
attribute set: __attribute__((kernel_helper(NUM)))

Generate gcc compatible headers based on the format in bpf-helpers.h.

This adds conditional blocks for GCC while leaving clang codepaths
unchanged, for example:
	#if __GNUC__ && !__clang__
	void *bpf_map_lookup_elem(void *map, const void *key) __attribute__((kernel_helper(1)));
	#else
	static void *(*bpf_map_lookup_elem)(void *map, const void *key) = (void *) 1;
	#endif

It does look like that gcc kernel_helper attribute is better than
'(void *) 1' style. The original clang uses '(void *) 1' style is
just for simplicity.

Do you mind to help implement similar attribute in clang so we
don't need "#if" here?


	#if __GNUC__ && !__clang__
	long bpf_map_update_elem(void *map, const void *key, const void *value, __u64 flags) __attribute__((kernel_helper(2)));
	#else
	static long (*bpf_map_update_elem)(void *map, const void *key, const void *value, __u64 flags) = (void *) 2;
	#endif

See:
https://github.com/gcc-mirror/gcc/blob/releases/gcc-12.1.0/gcc/config/bpf/bpf-helpers.h#L24-L27

This fixes the following build error:
error: indirect call in function, which are not supported by eBPF
