Convert all SEC("classifier*") uses to strict SEC("classifier") with no
extra characters. In reference_tracking selftests also drop the usage of
broken bpf_program__load(). Along the way switch from ambiguous searching by
program title (section name) to non-ambiguous searching by name in some
selftests, getting closer to completely removing
bpf_object__find_program_by_title().

Can be a follow-up, but lets just deprecate the whole "classifier" terminology
for libbpf since tc BPF programs do significantly more than just that since long
time and it's otherwise just a confusing UX. The whole "classifier" / "action"
terminology is just remains from legacy tc. See also libbpf.h's 'TC related API'
where there is no notion of "classifier". Given you have SEC("xdp"), lets name
all these in here SEC("tc"), and for compat we can keep the old "classifier" name
as a hidden option in libbpf if we have to.
That's a great idea. SEC("tc") makes much more sense.
Let's do it as part of this series, so the same lines don't need to be
touched twice.
