bpf-firewall: give a name to maps used

Running systemd with IP accounting enabled generates many bpf maps (two
per unit for accounting, another two if IPAddressAllow/Deny are used).

Systemd itself knows which maps belong to what unit and commands like
`systemctl status <unit>` can be used to query what service has which
map, but monitoring these values all the time costs 4 dbus requests
(calling the .IP{E,I}gress{Bytes,Packets} method for each unit) and
makes services like the prometheus systemd_exporter[1] somewhat slow
when doing that for every units, while less precise information could
quickly be obtained by looking directly at the maps.

Unfortunately, bpf map names are rather limited:
- only 15 characters in length (16, but last byte must be 0)
- only allows isalnum(), _ and . characters

If it wasn't for the length limit we could use the normal unit escape
functions but I've opted to just make any forbidden character into
underscores for maximum brievty -- the map prefix is also rather short:
This isn't meant as a precise mapping, but as a hint for admins who want
to look at these.

(Note there is no problem if multiple maps have the same name)
