Andrii Nakryiko 623bdd58be selftests/bpf: make multi-uprobe tests work in RELEASE=1 mode ...

When BPF selftests are built in RELEASE=1 mode with -O2 optimization
level, uprobe_multi binary, called from multi-uprobe tests is optimized
to the point that all the thousands of target uprobe_multi_func_XXX
functions are eliminated, breaking tests.

So ensure they are preserved by using weak attribute.

But, actually, compiling uprobe_multi binary with -O2 takes a really
long time, and is quite useless (it's not a benchmark). So in addition
to ensuring that uprobe_multi_func_XXX functions are preserved, opt-out
of -O2 explicitly in Makefile and stick to -O0. This saves a lot of
compilation time.

With -O2, just recompiling uprobe_multi:

  $ touch uprobe_multi.c
  $ time make RELEASE=1 -j90
  make RELEASE=1 -j90  291.66s user 2.54s system 99% cpu 4:55.52 total

With -O0:
  $ touch uprobe_multi.c
  $ time make RELEASE=1 -j90
  make RELEASE=1 -j90  22.40s user 1.91s system 99% cpu 24.355 total

5 minutes vs (still slow, but...) 24 seconds.
