selftests/bpf: Annotate bpf_obj_new_impl() with __must_check

The verifier requires that pointers returned by bpf_obj_new_impl() are
either dropped or stored in a map. Therefore programs that do not use
its return values will fail to load. Make the compiler point out these
issues. Adjust selftests that check that the verifier does indeed spot
these bugs.
