selftests/bpf: Check BPFTOOL env var in detect_bpftool_path()

The bpftool_maps_access and bpftool_metadata tests may fail on BPF CI
with "command not found", depending on a workflow.
This happens because detect_bpftool_path() only checks two hardcoded
relative paths:
  - ./tools/sbin/bpftool
  - ../tools/sbin/bpftool

Add support for a BPFTOOL environment variable that allows specifying
the exact path to the bpftool binary.
