Enable BPF skeletons by default but warn don't fail if they can't be supported. This was the intended behavior for Linux 6.4 but it caused an issue captured in this thread: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230503211801.897735-1-acme@xxxxxxxxxx/ This issue isn't repeated here as the previous issue related to generating vmlinux.h, which is no longer performed by default as a checked-in vmlinux.h is used instead. Unlike with those changes, the BUILD_BPF_SKEL is kept and setting it to 0 disables BPF skeletons. Also, rather than fail the build due to a missed dependency, dependencies are checked and BPF skeletons disabled if they aren't present.
