Khem Raj e8b8f3ddd9 bpftrace: link test data source binary without host runtime
The build host HOME directory check recently added to OE-Core's
buildpaths QA test flags the ptest gtest binary:

WARNING: bpftrace-0.25.1-r0 do_package_qa: QA Issue: File
/usr/lib/bpftrace/ptest/tests/bpftrace_test in package bpftrace-ptest
contains a reference to the build host HOME directory. [buildpaths]

WARNING: bpftrace-0.25.1-r0 do_package_qa: QA Issue: File
/usr/lib/bpftrace/ptest/tests/.debug/bpftrace_test in package
bpftrace-dbg contains a reference to the build host HOME directory.
[buildpaths]

cmake/BuildBPF.cmake links the intermediate DWARF carrier binary
data_source_exe with the plain build host gcc, which bakes the host
dynamic loader's absolute path into the PT_INTERP segment. With a
distro gcc that is an innocuous /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, but when
the host toolchain is a buildtools-extended/SDK gcc installed under
the build user's home directory (as on the autobuilder workers), it
is a $HOME-prefixed path like

  /srv/pokybuild/.../buildtools/sysroots/x86_64-pokysdk-linux/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2

The executable is then embedded byte-for-byte into bpftrace_test via
embed()/xxd (tests/data/CMakeLists.txt), so the path ends up in the
test binary's .rodata, triggering the bpftrace-ptest warning. And
because cmake/Embed.tmpl declares the embedded blob as a constexpr
array, gcc additionally copies its contents into .debug_info as
DW_AT_const_value, which is how the same string survives
objcopy --only-keep-debug into the split debug file, triggering the
bpftrace-dbg warning. This is the same embedding mechanism that
previously leaked TMPDIR paths, fixed for the compile step by the
DEBUG_PREFIX_MAP patch; the link step was still leaking.

The tests only write this binary to a temp file and use it as a
uprobe target (tests/dwarf_common.h), parsing its DWARF and symbols;
it is never executed. So link it with -nostdlib -no-pie -Wl,--entry=0:
no interpreter, no host crt objects, no dynamic segment, and thus
nothing host-specific in the embedded blob. Function symbols, DWARF
type information and the pahole -J BTF encoding step are unaffected,
and the field_analyser_dwarf ptests still pass.

Because the object is now linked -nostdlib it must not reference the
libc stack-protector runtime. Host gcc toolchains that default to
-fstack-protector-strong (e.g. Debian/Ubuntu and the Yocto
autobuilder workers) otherwise leave an undefined reference and the
link fails:

  ld: data_source.o: in function `main':
  data_source.c:212: undefined reference to `__stack_chk_fail'
  collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Compile the object and link the binary with -fno-stack-protector; the
canary is irrelevant to a DWARF/BTF carrier that is never run.
