Check endianess according to EHDR. Code is taken from tools/perf/util/symbol-elf.c.
Libbpf doesn't magically convert missmatched endianess. Even if we swap eBPF instructions to correct byte order, we are unable to deal with endianess in code logical generated by LLVM. Therefore, libbpf should simply reject missmatched ELF object, and let LLVM to create good code.
