bpf_program__attach_kprobe_opts() documents single-kprobe attach
through func_name, with an optional offset. For the PMU-based path,
func_name = NULL with an absolute address in offset already works as
well, but that is not described in the API.

This commit clarifies this existing behavior by documenting it in
bpf_program__attach_kprobe() and bpf_program__attach_kprobe_opts(),
and rejecting this form explicitly for legacy tracefs/debugfs kprobes.
