bpf tools: Collect version and license from ELF sections

Expand bpf_obj_elf_collect() to collect license and kernel version
information in eBPF object file. eBPF object file should have a section
named 'license', which contains a string. It should also have a section
named 'version', contains a u32 LINUX_VERSION_CODE.

bpf_obj_validate() is introduced to validate object file after loaded.
Currently it only check existence of 'version' section.
