    bpf, docs: Address comments from IETF Area Directors
    
    This patch does the following to address IETF feedback:
    
    * Remove mention of "program type" and reference future
      docs (and mention platform-specific docs exist) for
      helper functions and BTF. Addresses Roman Danyliw's
      comments based on GENART review from Ines Robles [0].
    
    * Add reference for endianness as requested by John
      Scudder [1].
    
    * Added bit numbers to top of 32-bit wide format diagrams
      as requested by Paul Wouters [2].
    
    * Added more text about why BPF doesn't stand for anything, based
      on text from ebpf.io [3], as requested by Eric Vyncke and
      Gunter Van de Velde [4].
    
    * Replaced "htobe16" (and similar) and the direction-specific
      description with just "be16" (and similar) and a direction-agnostic
      description, to match the direction-agnostic description in
      the Byteswap Instructions section. Based on feedback from Eric
      Vyncke [5].
