The optional parameter "map MAP" can be added to "bpftool iter"
command to create a bpf iterator for map elements. For example,
bpftool iter pin ./prog.o /sys/fs/bpf/p1 map id 333
For map element bpf iterator "map MAP" parameter is required.
Otherwise, bpf link creation will return an error.
Quentin Monnet kindly provided bash-completion implementation
for new "map MAP" option.

Bring minor improvements to bpftool documentation. Fix or harmonise
formatting, update map types (including in interactive help), improve
description for "map create", fix a build warning due to a missing line
after the double-colon for the "bpftool prog profile" example,
complete/harmonise/sort the list of related bpftool man pages in
footers.
v2:
- Remove (instead of changing) mark-up on "value" in bpftool-map.rst,
when it does not refer to something passed on the command line.
- Fix an additional typo ("hexadeximal") in the same file.

Currently, only one command is supported
bpftool iter pin <bpf_prog.o> <path>
It will pin the trace/iter bpf program in
the object file <bpf_prog.o> to the <path>
where <path> should be on a bpffs mount.
For example,
$ bpftool iter pin ./bpf_iter_ipv6_route.o \
/sys/fs/bpf/my_route
User can then do a `cat` to print out the results:
$ cat /sys/fs/bpf/my_route

The implementation for ipv6_route iterator is in one of subsequent
patches.
This patch also added BPF_LINK_TYPE_ITER to link query.
In the future, we may add additional parameters to pin command
by parameterizing the bpf iterator. For example, a map_id or pid
may be added to let bpf program only traverses a single map or task,
similar to kernel seq_file single_open().
We may also add introspection command for targets/iterators by
leveraging the bpf_iter itself.
