[PATCH bpf-next 2/2] bpftool: Reject non-autoload programs for light skeletons

["Thiébaud Weksteen" <tweek@google.com>]

When generating a light skeleton (bpftool gen skeleton -L), there is no
libbpf runtime object or bpf_program__set_autoload() API available to
enable/disable the autoloading of programs. If a BPF program in the
object has autoload disabled (e.g. via SEC("?...")), bpf_object__load()
silently skips loading it. bpftool still generates struct bpf_prog_desc
fields and attach functions in the light skeleton header, leaving
skel->progs.<name>.prog_fd uninitialized (0).

Explicitly reject non-autoloaded programs when use_loader is true with
an error message, preventing the generation of broken light skeleton
headers.
