Use xmake to port libbpf-bootstrap and support android bpf program about libbpf-bootstrap HOT 7 CLOSED

Let me take a look and get back to you next week. We plan to expand libbpf-bootstrap to have more examples across various platforms and languages (e.g., Rust-based examples), so this might be a good addition. But I need to see what and how all things are put together to make a decision.

My opinion (feel free to ignore me): xmake looks promising and easy to use. I'll probably try it out later for a personal project. But I'm not so sure about introducing non-standard tools to a "teaching" project. The purpose of this repo is to teach people about BPF -- any new tool / technology that isn't directly related to the goal of teaching about BPF is a distraction.

@waruqi so after discussing with @danobi some more, I think this might be a good addition to existing Makefile, as well as CMake that we are going to add. Please see #19 for discussion around re-organizing libbpf-bootstrap to allow multiple languages (C and Rust for starters) and having multiple build system integrations. So let's wait for that reorg to be completed, and then work towards merging xmake stuff in. Does this sound good to you?

ok, thanks!

@waruqi now that we have both C and Rust examples, as well as Makefile and CMake-based build scripts, can you take another look if you can adopt your xmake stuff to integrate nicely into this setup?
