Socket-local storage for map ``map_fd`` can be added or updated locally to a

identified by a `socket` ``fd`` stored in the pointer ``key``. The pointer

and size of ``value`` should be the same as the value type of the map
definition.
- ``BPF_ANY`` will create storage for ``fd`` or update existing storage.
- ``BPF_NOEXIST`` will create storage for ``fd`` only if it did not already
