Add documentation for BPF_MAP_TYPE_DEVMAP and
BPF_MAP_TYPE_DEVMAP_HASH including kernel version
introduced, usage and examples.

Add documentation that describes XDP_REDIRECT.

v7->v8:
- Updated multicast to use description suggested by Toke Høiland-Jørgensen.

v6-v7:
- Got rid of unnecessary initializations in examples.

v5->v6:
- Separate Kernel BPF and userspace functions for devmaps.
- Include some packet/tracepoint debug info in the redirect
  documentation.

v4->v5:
- Remove unused 'index' variable in example.

v3->v4:
- Prepend supported map section for XDP_REDIRECT documentation.

v2->v3:
- Fixed indentations in usage section to exclude non note text.
- Replace links to selftest with actual paths.

v1->v2:
- Separate xdp_redirect documentation to its own file.
- Clean up and simplify examples and usage function descriptions.
