bpf: Support narrow loads from bpf_sock_addr.user_port

bpf_sock_addr.user_port supports only 4-byte load and it leads to ugly code in BPF programs, like: volatile __u32 user_port = ctx->user_port; __u16 port = bpf_ntohs(user_port); Since otherwise clang may optimize the load to be 2-byte and it's rejected by verifier. Add support for 1- and 2-byte loads same way as it's supported for other fields in bpf_sock_addr like user_ip4, msg_src_ip4, etc.
