feat: use BPF_MAP_TYPE_INODE_STORAGE for ignored cache

Whenever we find a file that we should ignore based on its path, we can
attach a byte to its inode so that we will know on future accesses that
the file should be ignored before we do any sort of processing on our
hooks. Because the information is attached to the inode itself, when the
inode is removed, the storage will be cleaned up on its own. A re-used
pointer to an inode should also not cause false hits, since this is
specific to the inode we attached to and should go away when the inode
is freed.
