c8caa0bb4b tools, bpftool: Minor fixes for documentation
Bring minor improvements to bpftool documentation. Fix or harmonise
formatting, update map types (including in interactive help), improve
description for "map create", fix a build warning due to a missing line
after the double-colon for the "bpftool prog profile" example,
complete/harmonise/sort the list of related bpftool man pages in
footers.

v2:
- Remove (instead of changing) mark-up on "value" in bpftool-map.rst,
  when it does not refer to something passed on the command line.
- Fix an additional typo ("hexadeximal") in the same file.

229c3b47b7 bpftool: Use consistent include paths for libbpf
Fix bpftool to include libbpf header files with the bpf/ prefix, to be
consistent with external users of the library. Also ensure that all
includes of exported libbpf header files (those that are exported on 'make
install' of the library) use bracketed includes instead of quoted.

To make sure no new files are introduced that doesn't include the bpf/
prefix in its include, remove tools/lib/bpf from the include path entirely,
and use tools/lib instead.

dacce6412e bpftool: Work-around rst2man conversion bug
Work-around what appears to be a bug in rst2man convertion tool, used to
create man pages out of reStructureText-formatted documents. If text line
starts with dot, rst2man will put it in resulting man file verbatim. This
seems to cause man tool to interpret it as a directive/command (e.g., `.bs`), and
subsequently not render entire line because it's unrecognized one.

Enclose '.xxx' words in extra formatting to work around.

cb21ac5885 bpftool: Add gen subcommand manpage
Add bpftool-gen.rst describing skeleton on the high level. Also include
a small, but complete, example BPF app (BPF side, userspace side, generated
skeleton) in example section to demonstrate skeleton API and its usage.
