libbpf: deprecate bpf_program__is_<type>() and bpf_program__set_<type>() APIs
Not sure why these APIs were added in the first place instead of a completely generic (and not requiring constantly adding new APIs with each new BPF program type) bpf_program__type() and bpf_program__set_type() APIs. But as it is right now, there are 13 such specialized is_type/set_type APIs, while latest kernel is already at 30+ BPF program types. Instead of completing the set of APIs and keep chasing kernel's bpf_prog_type enum, deprecate existing subset and recommend generic bpf_program__type() and bpf_program__set_type() APIs.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
