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].
