bpf, docs: Address comments from IETF Area Directors
This patch does the following to address IETF feedback:
* Remove mention of "program type" and reference future
docs (and mention platform-specific docs exist) for
helper functions and BTF. Addresses Roman Danyliw's
comments based on GENART review from Ines Robles [0].
* Add reference for endianness as requested by John
Scudder [1].
* Added bit numbers to top of 32-bit wide format diagrams
as requested by Paul Wouters [2].
* Added more text about why BPF doesn't stand for anything, based
on text from ebpf.io [3], as requested by Eric Vyncke and
Gunter Van de Velde [4].
* Replaced "htobe16" (and similar) and the direction-specific
description with just "be16" (and similar) and a direction-agnostic
description, to match the direction-agnostic description in
the Byteswap Instructions section. Based on feedback from Eric
Vyncke [5].
