Description

Retina failures can be obscure. It would be useful to have a debug subcommand which performs sanity checks and validitions on things like kernel eBPF support, and can output the eBPF maps etc for debugging purposes.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the existing Retina CLI structure, add a 'debug' subcommand that performs sanity checks on eBPF kernel support and outputs eBPF maps. Refer to the link in the issue for obscure failures.
