Library path resolution should already work for USDTs (note that I
reuse resolve_full_path() in bpf_program__attach_usdt()), but having
explicit tests would be great. It might be simplest to temporarily
override LD_LIBRARY_PATH with a path to liburandom_read.so? So please
consider sending a patch with tests, thanks!
