[PATCH bpf-next v5 5/6] selftests/bpf: Verify inlined numeric iterator shape with __xlated

Add an __xlated test pinning the inlined bpf_iter_num_{new,next,destroy}()
shapes. The program is __naked, so there is no compiler glue and the whole
sequence is matched instruction for instruction.

Gate it to x86_64 and arm64 (bpf_jit_needs_zext() == false); elsewhere the
verifier interleaves "wN = wN" zero-extensions that would not match. The
inlining is arch independent, so these two are enough.
