Add bpf_core_cast() macro that wraps bpf_rdonly_cast() kfunc. It's more
ergonomic than kfunc, as it automatically extracts btf_id with
bpf_core_type_id_kernel(), and works with type names. It also casts result
to (T *) pointer. See the definition of the macro, it's self-explanatory.

libbpf declares bpf_rdonly_cast() extern as __weak __ksym and should be
safe to not conflict with other possible declarations in user code.

But we do have a conflict with current BPF selftests that declare their
externs with first argument as `void *obj`, while libbpf opts into more
permissive `const void *obj`. This causes conflict, so we fix up BPF
selftests uses in the same patch.
