Andrew Melnychenko e88899fa90 qmp: Added new command to retrieve eBPF blob.
Now, the binary objects may be retrieved by id.
It would require for future qmp commands that may require specific
eBPF blob.

Added command "request-ebpf". This command returns
eBPF program encoded base64. The program taken from the
skeleton and essentially is an ELF object that can be
loaded in the future with libbpf.

The reason to use the command to provide the eBPF object
instead of a separate artifact was to avoid issues related
to finding the eBPF itself. eBPF object is an ELF binary
that contains the eBPF program and eBPF map description(BTF).
Overall, eBPF object should contain the program and enough
metadata to create/load eBPF with libbpf. As the eBPF
maps/program should correspond to QEMU, the eBPF can't
be used from different QEMU build.

The first solution was a helper that comes with QEMU
and loads appropriate eBPF objects. And the issue is
to find a proper helper if the system has several
different QEMUs installed and/or built from the source,
which helpers may not be compatible.

Another issue is QEMU updating while there is a running
QEMU instance. With an updated helper, it may not be
possible to hotplug virtio-net device to the already
running QEMU. Overall, requesting the eBPF object from
QEMU itself solves possible failures with acceptable effort.

# = Introduction
#
# This document describes all commands currently supported by QMP.
#
# Most of the time their usage is exactly the same as in the user
# Monitor, this means that any other document which also describe
# commands (the manpage, QEMU's manual, etc) can and should be
# consulted.
#
# QMP has two types of commands: regular and query commands. Regular
# commands usually change the Virtual Machine's state someway, while
# query commands just return information. The sections below are
# divided accordingly.
#
# It's important to observe that all communication examples are
# formatted in a reader-friendly way, so that they're easier to
# understand. However, in real protocol usage, they're emitted as a
# single line.
#
# Also, the following notation is used to denote data flow:
#
# Example:
#
# ::
#
# -> data issued by the Client
# <- Server data response
#
# Please refer to the
# :doc:`QEMU Machine Protocol Specification </interop/qmp-spec>`
# for detailed information on the Server command and response formats.

# include it first right here.
