The bpftool_maps_access and bpftool_metadata tests may fail on BPF CI
with "command not found", depending on a workflow.
This happens because detect_bpftool_path() only checks two hardcoded
relative paths:
- ./tools/sbin/bpftool
- ../tools/sbin/bpftool
Add support for a BPFTOOL environment variable that allows specifying
the exact path to the bpftool binary.

In order to integrate some bpftool tests into test_progs, define a few
specific helpers that allow to execute bpftool commands, while possibly
retrieving the command output. Those helpers most notably set the
path to the bpftool binary under test. This version checks different
possible paths relative to the directories where the different
test_progs runners are executed, as we want to make sure not to
accidentally use a bootstrap version of the binary.
