Add MapExtra support and bloom filter maps

- Add MapExtra field to MapSpec struct for map-specific configuration
- Update map creation to pass MapExtra to kernel syscall
- Handle map_extra field in BTF map definitions (elf_reader.go)
- Add NewBloomFilter helper function for creating bloom filter maps
- Add comprehensive tests for bloom filter functionality

Bloom filter maps were introduced in Linux 5.16 and use the MapExtra
field to specify the number of hash functions (lower 4 bits, 1-15 range).
The default is 5 hash functions if not specified.

This enables creating bloom filters with custom hash function counts:
  spec, err := NewBloomFilter("my_bloom", 4, 1000, 3)

Fixes #669
