35ae6ff60f622813d5bc311bceb5f93dc6f0f59b test: don't use bpf_usdt_readarg_p (0xb10c)

Pull request description:

  Instead of using the undocumented bcc helper `bpf_usdt_readarg_p()`, use [`bpf_usdt_readarg()`][1] and [`bpf_probe_read_user()`][2]/[`bpf_probe_read_user_str()`][3] as documented in the [bcc USDT reference guide][1].

  Note that the `bpf_probe_read_user()` documentation says the following:
  > For safety, all user address space memory reads must pass through bpf_probe_read_user().

  It's [assumed](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/27380#issuecomment-2286505348) that using `bpf_usdt_readarg_p()` caused a lifetime issue. With `bpf_usdt_readarg()` and `bpf_probe_read_user()`, this doesn't [seem](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/27380#issuecomment-2528671656) to be a problem anymore.

  This allows to revert faed533743 and closes #27380.

Repository Tools

Developer tools

Specific tools for developers working on this repository. Additional tools, including the github-merge.py script, are available in the maintainer-tools repository.

Verify-Commits

Tool to verify that every merge commit was signed by a developer using the github-merge.py script.

Linearize

Construct a linear, no-fork, best version of the blockchain.

Qos

A Linux bash script that will set up traffic control (tc) to limit the outgoing bandwidth for connections to the Bitcoin network. This means one can have an always-on bitcoind instance running, and another local bitcoind/bitcoin-qt instance which connects to this node and receives blocks from it.

Seeds

Utility to generate the pnSeed[] array that is compiled into the client.

Build Tools and Keys

Packaging

The Debian subfolder contains the copyright file.

All other packaging related files can be found in the bitcoin-core/packaging repository.

MacDeploy

Scripts and notes for Mac builds.

Test and Verify Tools

TestGen

Utilities to generate test vectors for the data-driven Bitcoin tests.

Verify-Binaries

This script attempts to download and verify the signature file SHA256SUMS.asc from bitcoin.org.

Command Line Tools

Completions

Shell completions for bash and fish.

UTXO Set Tools

UTXO-to-SQLite

This script converts a compact-serialized UTXO set (as generated by Bitcoin Core with dumptxoutset) to a SQLite3 database. For more details like e.g. the created table name and schema, refer to the module docstring on top of the script, which is also contained in the command's --help output.
