selftests/bpf: Remove __arg_arena from the codebase

Now that BPF __arg_arena has been subsumed by __arena, remove
__arg_arena from the codebase. This way the user has one fewer
annotation to worry about.

To remove __arg_arena we remove the typedefs we were previously
using to minimize __arena annotations. This is because __arena
now also includes a BTF type tag, which is ignored for non-pointer
types. As a result, we cannot capture the whole __arena annotation
inside a typedef and need to directly annotate the pointer type when
declaring the variable.

The extra verbosity is worth it because the use of the __arena tag
is intuitive to the programmer and removes the __arg_arena tag that
has been a consistent source of confusion for users. The typedefs
can be reintroduced later (without __arg_arena) once compilers start
supporting BTF type tags for non-pointer types.
