libbpf: Remove gcc support for bpf_tail_call_static for now
This reverts commit 14e5ce79943a ("libbpf: Add GCC support for bpf_tail_call_static"). Reason is that gcc invented their own BPF asm which is not conform with LLVM one, and going forward this would be more painful to maintain here and in other areas of the library. Thus remove it; ask to gcc folks is to align with LLVM one to use exact same syntax.
