Add bpftool to linux-tools-common

[Daniel Borkmann]

bpftool is a debugging and introspection tool actively developed by the BPF kernel community. It's developed as part of the kernel source tree under tools/:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/tools/bpf/bpftool

It would be really great and appreciated if Ubuntu folks could package this as part of linux-tools-common.
