    Add sample for adding simple drop program to link · 86af8b41

    Add a sample program that only drops packets at the BPF_PROG_TYPE_XDP_RX
    hook of a link. With the drop-only program, observed single core rate is
    ~20Mpps.
    
    Other tests were run, for instance without the dropcnt increment or
    without reading from the packet header, the packet rate was mostly
    unchanged.
