libbpf provides the ring_buffer__consume_n() API to consume up to a certain amount of items from ringbuffers [1].
Add the new method consume_raw_n() also in RingBuffer to provide the same functionality.
This is needed by sched_ext to allow user-space schedulers (based on scx_rustland_core) to selectively consume task items from BPF ring buffer [2].
