Dave Thaler 8cfee11071 bpf, docs: Add extended call instructions
Add extended call instructions.  Uses the term "program-local" for
call by offset.  And there are instructions for calling helper functions
by "address" (the old way of using integer values), and for calling
helper functions by BTF ID (for kfuncs).

V1 -> V2: addressed comments from David Vernet

V2 -> V3: make descriptions in table consistent with updated names

V3 -> V4: addressed comments from Alexei

V4 -> V5: fixed alignment
