Before this patch, a program with unspecified type (BPF_PROG_TYPE_UNSPEC) would be passed to the BPF syscall, only to have the kernel reject it with an opaque invalid argument error. This patch makes libbpf reject such programs with a nicer error message - in particular libbpf now tries to diagnose bad ELF section names at both open time and load time.
