This patchset is the 3rd in the dynptr series. The 1st can be found here [0]
and the 2nd can be found here [1].
In this patchset, the following convenience helpers are added for interacting
with bpf dynamic pointers:
* bpf_dynptr_data_rdonly
* bpf_dynptr_trim
* bpf_dynptr_advance
* bpf_dynptr_is_null
* bpf_dynptr_is_rdonly
* bpf_dynptr_get_size
* bpf_dynptr_get_offset
* bpf_dynptr_clone
* bpf_dynptr_iterator
Querying dynptr information is abstracted to helper functions instead of directly
exposing bpf_dynptr internals because this avoids imposing restrictions on the
dynptr struct in the case of any future modifications, as well as consolidates
any logic for parsing the fields to one place.
In the future, some of these convenience helper calls will be inlined.
Please note that this patchset will be rebased on top of dynptr refactoring/fixes
once that is landed upstream.

* Drop patch adding "bpf_dynptr_data_rdonly"
* Add offset arg for bpf_dynptr_clone, to advance offset for cloned dynptr
* bpf_dynptr_iterator operates on a cloned dynptr instead of the original (Kumar,Andrii)
