bpftool: Make skeleton C++ compatible with explicit casts
Fix C++ compilation errors in generated skeleton by adding explicit
pointer casts and use char * subtraction for offset calculation
error: invalid conversion from 'void*' to '<obj_name>*' [-fpermissive]
| skel = skel_alloc(sizeof(*skel));
| ~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

error: arithmetic on pointers to void
| skel->ctx.sz = (void *)&skel->links - (void *)skel;

error: assigning to 'struct <obj_name>__<ident> *' from incompatible type 'void *'
