Add a small and generic LIBBPF_OPTS_RESET() helper macros which clears an
opts structure and reinitializes its .sz member to place the structure
size. Additionally, the user can pass option-specific data to reinitialize
via varargs.
I found this very useful when developing selftests, but it is also generic
enough as a macro next to the existing LIBBPF_OPTS() which hides the .sz
initialization, too.
