libbpf: .text routines are subprograms in strict mode
Currently, libbpf considers a single routine in .text to be a program. This
is particularly confusing when it comes to library objects - a single routine
meant to be used as an extern will instead be considered a bpf_program.
This patch hides this compatibility behavior behind the pre-existing
SEC_NAME strict mode flag.
