bpf, docs: Fix modulo zero, division by zero, overflow, and underflow

Fix modulo zero, division by zero, overflow, and underflow. Also clarify how
a negative immediate value is used in unsigned division.

======== ===== ==========================================================
Underflow and overflow are allowed during arithmetic operations, meaning
the 64-bit or 32-bit value will wrap. If eBPF program execution would
result in division by zero, the destination register is instead set to zero.
If execution would result in modulo by zero, for ``BPF_ALU64`` the value of
the destination register is unchanged whereas for ``BPF_ALU`` the upper
32 bits of the destination register are zeroed.
``BPF_ADD | BPF_X | BPF_ALU`` means::
dst_reg = (u32) dst_reg + (u32) src_reg;

dst_reg = dst_reg ^ imm32
Also note that the division and modulo operations are unsigned. Thus, for
``BPF_ALU``, 'imm' is first interpreted as an unsigned 32-bit value, whereas
for ``BPF_ALU64``, 'imm' is first sign extended to 64 bits and the result
interpreted as an unsigned 64-bit value. There are no instructions for
signed division or modulo.
