Introduce a new type of iter prog: cgroup. Unlike other bpf_iter, this
iter doesn't iterate a set of kernel objects. Instead, it is supposed to
be parameterized by a cgroup id and prints only that cgroup. So one
needs to specify a target cgroup id when attaching this iter.

The target cgroup's state can be read out via a link of this iter.
Typically, we can monitor cgroup creation and deletion using sleepable
tracing and use it to create corresponding directories in bpffs and pin
a cgroup id parameterized link in the directory. Then we can read the
auto-pinned iter link to get cgroup's state. The output of the iter link
is determined by the program. See the selftest test_cgroup_stats.c for
an example.

Since cgroup_iter_seq_fini() is a nop, you can just have

Is this 64 the maximum possible cgroup path length?
If there is a macro for that, I think it would be good to use it.

cgroup_path_from_kernfs_id() might fail in which case, buf will be 0.
and cgroup_path will be nothing. I guess this might be the expected
result. I might be good to add a comment to clarify in the code.

The same ehre, since bpf_iter_detach_cgroup() is a nop,
you can replace it with NULL in the above.
