selftests/bpf: Stop using static variables for passing data to/from user-space

In preparation of skipping emitting static variables in BPF skeletons, switch
all current selftests uses of static variables to pass data between BPF and
user-space to use global variables.

All non-read-only `static volatile` variables become just plain global
variables by dropping `static volatile` part.

Read-only `static volatile const` variables, though, still require `volatile`
modifier, otherwise compiler will ignore whatever values are set from
user-space.

Few static linker tests are using name-conflicting static variables to
validate that static linker still properly handles static variables and
doesn't trip up on name conflicts.

selftests/bpf: Add unit tests for pointers in global functions

test_global_func9 - check valid pointer's scenarios
test_global_func10 - check that a smaller type cannot be passed as a
larger one
test_global_func11 - check that CTX pointer cannot be passed
test_global_func12 - check access to a null pointer
test_global_func13 - check access to an arbitrary pointer value
test_global_func14 - check that an opaque pointer cannot be passed
test_global_func15 - check that a variable has an unknown value after
it was passed to a global function by pointer
test_global_func16 - check access to uninitialized stack memory

test_global_func_args - check read and write operations through a pointer
