Support SEC("xdp_dm*") as a short cut for loading the program with
type BPF_PROG_TYPE_XDP and expected attach type BPF_XDP_DEVMAP.

naming is hard and subjective, but does "dm" really associate with
DEVMAP to you, rather than "direct message" or "direct memory" or
something along those line? Is there any harm to call this
"xdp_devmap"? It's still short enough, IMO.

Yes it does b/c of the XDP context. Program name lengths being limited
to 15 characters makes me shorten all prefixes to leave some usable
characters for id'ing the program.

but for the SEC name, I switched it to xdp_devmap.
