libbpf: Drop in-loader metadata check for load-time verification

The signed gen_loader used to police its own metadata map from within
BPF: emit_signature_match() read the kernel-cached map->sha[] back
through hardcoded struct bpf_map offsets and compared it against a hash
that compute_sha_update_offsets() baked into the signed instructions,
after a BPF_OBJ_GET_INFO_BY_FD round-trip to populate map->sha[].

The kernel now verifies the metadata at BPF_PROG_LOAD time by folding
the frozen contents of the loader's exclusive fd_array maps into the
signature, so the loader no longer checks anything itself. Generated
loaders thus carry no verification logic of their own anymore: Nothing
in the signing chain depends on emitted loader bytecode doing the right
thing.

On the loading side, skel_internal.h now sets fd_array_cnt for a signed
load so the kernel scans fd_array for the exclusive metadata map -
still frozen, as the kernel requires - and the BPF_OBJ_GET_INFO_BY_FD
round-trip to populate map->sha[] is gone. The struct bpf_map layout
BUILD_BUG_ON()s on the kernel side are removed as well: they only
pinned the ABI for the in-BPF read of map->sha[] that is no longer
needed. Same for the map->excl member. Note: gen_hash is retained; it
still marks a loader as signed so an untrusted host cannot re-dimension
maps or override initial values now covered by the signature.
