Replace bpf_prog_load() with bpf_load_program() calls.

Use the tools include directory instead of the installed one to allow
builds from other kernels.

No objections, but if so, can't we add the remaining missing
pieces to bpf lib, so we can remove bpf_sys.h altogether?

OK, I'll send a new patch replacing bpf_sys.h entirely.

Sounds great, thanks!

Do you prefer a big patch or one for each replaced function?

I think it makes sense to split it into two: i) this patch as-is
for the prog part, and ii) rest for maps.
