selftests/bpf: Remove xxd util dependency
The verification signature header generation requires converting a binary certificate to a C array. Previously this only worked with xxd (part of vim-common package). As xxd may not be available on some systems building selftests, it makes sense to substitute it with more common utils: hexdump, wc, sed to generate equivalent C array output. Tested by generating header with both xxd and hexdump and comparing them.
