Andrii Nakryiko 8f79870ec8 selftests/bpf: Extend uprobe/uretprobe triggering benchmarks

Settle on three "flavors" of uprobe/uretprobe, installed on different
kinds of instruction: nop, push, and ret. All three are testing
different internal code paths emulating or single-stepping instructions,
so are interesting to compare and benchmark separately.

To ensure `push rbp` instruction we ensure that uprobe_target_push() is
not a leaf function by calling (global __weak) noop function and
returning something afterwards (if we don't do that, compiler will just
do a tail call optimization).

Also, we need to make sure that compiler isn't skipping frame pointer
generation, so let's add `-fno-omit-frame-pointers` to Makefile.

Just to give an idea of where we currently stand in terms of relative
performance of different uprobe/uretprobe cases vs a cheap syscall
(getpgid()) baseline, here are results from my local machine:

$ benchs/run_bench_uprobes.sh
base           :    1.561 ± 0.020M/s
uprobe-nop     :    0.947 ± 0.007M/s
uprobe-push    :    0.951 ± 0.004M/s
uprobe-ret     :    0.443 ± 0.007M/s
uretprobe-nop  :    0.471 ± 0.013M/s
uretprobe-push :    0.483 ± 0.004M/s
uretprobe-ret  :    0.306 ± 0.007M/s
