nit: I'd combine as if (!prog->autoload || !prog->autoattach), they
are very coupled in this sense

please add these APIs to libbpf.map as well

it would be also nice to have a simple test validating that skeleton's
auto-attach doesn't attach program (no link will be created) if
bpf_program__set_autoattach(false) is called before. Can you please
add that as well?
