Dave Thaler 04efaebd72 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].
