[RFC PATCH bpf-next v5 3/8] selftests/bpf: factor the permissive-mode skip suffix into a helper

With BPF_STRICT_BUILD=0, eleven recipes append the same "|| { remove
the target, print a SKIP marker, report success }" tail, each spelled
out inline. Factor the tail into skip_on_fail, parameterized by the
SKIP tag, optional extra files to remove alongside the target and an
optional note appended to the message - every call site keeps its
exact message and behavior.
The permissive fragments of other shapes are not suffixes and keep
their current form: the rsync --ignore-missing-args flags, the
missing-input guards in the skeleton recipes, the link rule's
wildcard handling and the test_kmods copy wrapper.
