selftests/bpf: Dump skb metadata on verification failure

Add diagnostic output when metadata verification fails to help with
troubleshooting test failures. Introduce a check_metadata() helper that
prints both expected and received metadata to the BPF program's stderr
stream on mismatch. The userspace test reads and dumps this stream on
failure.
