libbpf: Allows disabling auto attach

Adds libbpf APIs for disabling auto-attach for individual functions.
This is motivated by the use case of cgroup iter [1]. Some iter
types require their parameters to be non-zero, therefore applying
auto-attach on them will fail. With these two new APIs, users who
want to use auto-attach and these types of iters can disable
auto-attach on the program and perform manual attach.
