libbpf: Add namespace for errstr making it libbpf_errstr

When statically linking symbols can be replaced with those from other
statically linked libraries depending on the link order and the hoped
for "multiple definition" error may not appear. To avoid conflicts it
is good practice to namespace symbols, this change renames errstr to
libbpf_errstr. To avoid churn a #define is used to turn use of
errstr(err) to libbpf_errstr(err).
