This is a small improvement in libbpf_strerror. When libbpf_strerror
is used to obtain the system error description, if the length of the
buf is insufficient, libbpf_sterror returns ERANGE and sets errno to
ERANGE.

However, this processing is not performed when the error code
customized by libbpf is obtained. Make some minor improvements here,
return -ERANGE and set errno to ERANGE when buf is not enough for
custom description.

Given this is related to libbpf_strerror_table[] where the error strings are known
lets do compile-time error instead. All callers should pass in a buffer of STRERR_BUFSIZE
size in libbpf.

  		return 0;
