Add optional LLVM BPF target support

Description

Add optional LLVM BPF target support

BPF (eBPF) is an independent instruction set architecture which is
introduced in Linux a few years ago. Originally, eBPF execute
environment was only inside Linux kernel. However, recent years there
are some user space implementation (https://github.com/iovisor/ubpf,
https://doc.dpdk.org/guides/prog_guide/bpf_lib.html) and kernel space
implementation for FreeBSD is going on
(https://github.com/YutaroHayakawa/generic-ebpf).

The BPF target support can be enabled using WITH_LLVM_TARGET_BPF, as it
is not built by default.
