bpf_link is and abstraction of an association of a BPF program and one of many possible BPF attachment points (hooks). This allows to have uniform interface for detaching BPF programs regardless of the nature of link and how it was created. Details of creation and setting up of a specific bpf_link is handled by corresponding attachment methods (bpf_program__attach_xxx) added in subsequent commits. Once successfully created, bpf_link has to be eventually destroyed with bpf_link__destroy(), at which point BPF program is disassociated from a hook and all the relevant resources are freed.
