BCC examples ported to PythonBPF

This folder contains examples of BCC tutorial examples that have been ported to use PythonBPF.

install pythonbpf and pylibbpf using pip.
You will also need matplotlib for vfsreadlat.py example.
You will also need rich for vfsreadlat_rich.py example.
You will also need plotly and dash for vfsreadlat_plotly.py example.
All of these are added to requirements.txt file. You can install them using the following command:
```
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

You'll need root privileges to run these examples. If you are using a virtualenv, use the following command to run the scripts:
```
sudo <path_to_virtualenv>/bin/python3 <script_name>.py
```
For the disksnoop and container-monitor examples, you need to generate the vmlinux.py file first. Follow the instructions in the main README to generate the vmlinux.py file.
For vfsreadlat_plotly.py, run the following command to start the Dash server:
```
sudo <path_to_virtualenv>/bin/python3 vfsreadlat_plotly/bpf_program.py
```
Then open your web browser and navigate to the given URL.
For container-monitor, you need to first copy the vmlinux.py to container-monitor/ directory. Then run the following command to run the example:
```
  cp vmlinux.py container-monitor/
  sudo <path_to_virtualenv>/bin/python3 container-monitor/container_monitor.py
```
