tools: bpftool: Allow all prog/map handles for pinning objects

Documentation and interactive help for bpftool have always explained
that the regular handles for programs (id|name|tag|pinned) and maps
(id|name|pinned) can be passed to the utility when attempting to pin
objects (bpftool prog pin PROG / bpftool map pin MAP).

THIS IS A LIE!! The tool actually accepts only ids, as the parsing is
done in do_pin_any() in common.c instead of reusing the parsing
functions that have long been generic for program and map handles.

Instead of fixing the doc, fix the code. It is trivial to reuse the
generic parsing, and to simplify do_pin_any() in the process.

Do not accept to pin multiple objects at the same time with
prog_parse_fds() or map_parse_fds() (this would require a more complex
syntax for passing multiple sysfs paths and validating that they
correspond to the number of e.g. programs we find for a given name or
tag).
