libbpf: Deprecate bpf_objects_list

Add a flag to `enum libbpf_strict_mode' to disable the global
`bpf_objects_list', preventing race conditions when concurrent threads
call bpf_object__open() or bpf_object__close().

bpf_object__next() will return NULL if this option is set.

Callers may achieve the same workflow by tracking bpf_objects in
application code.
