tools: bpftool: Document and add bash completion for -L, -B options
The -L|--use-loader option for using loader programs when loading, or when generating a skeleton, did not have any documentation or bash completion. Same thing goes for -B|--base-btf, used to pass a path to a base BTF object for split BTF such as BTF for kernel modules. This patch documents and adds bash completion for those options. Fixes: 75fa1777694c ("tools/bpftool: Add bpftool support for split BTF") Fixes: d510296d331a ("bpftool: Use syscall/loader program in "prog load" and "gen skeleton" command.")

+ -L, --use-loader
+ For skeletons, generate a "light" skeleton (also known as "loader"
+ skeleton). A light skeleton contains a loader eBPF program. It does
+ not use the majority of the libbpf infrastructure, and does not need
+ libelf.
