QUIC: fixed bpf compilation with newer Linux kernels.
QUIC bpf program previously used struct bpf_map_def which was
deprecated in [1] (kernel version 5.18) and removed in [2] (kernel 6.1).
New-style BTF map definitions were added in [3] (linux kernel 5.3).
Switching the program to BTF is however not necessary since nginx has
its own relocation procedure which allows referencing the real map
structure by its file descriptor allocated earlier. In particular,
bpf instruction BPF_LD_IMM64 (0x18/0x0) is substituted with instruction
BPF_LD_MAP_FD (0x18/0x1) and map_fd is stored in the imm field, see [4]
and [5] for details.
To fix compilation, struct bpf_map_def is changed to a known type (int)
and "extern" is added to indicate external linkage and reduce object
file size.
