bpf tools: Allow caller to set printing function

By libbpf_set_print(), users of libbpf are allowed to register he/she
own debug, info and warning printing functions. Libbpf will use those
functions to print messages. If not provided, default info and warning
printing functions are fprintf(stderr, ...); default debug printing
is NULL.

This API is designed to be used by perf, enables it to register its own
logging functions to make all logs uniform, instead of separated
logging level control.
