libbpf: Define BTF_KIND_* constants in btf.h to avoid compilation errors

Browse Source 
The btf.h header included with libbpf contains inline helper functions to
check for various BTF kinds. These helpers directly reference the
BTF_KIND_* constants defined in the kernel header, and because the header
file is included in user applications, this happens in the user application
compile units.

This presents a problem if a user application is compiled on a system with
older kernel headers because the constants are not available. To avoid
this, add #defines of the constants directly in btf.h before using them.

Since the kernel header moved to an enum for BTF_KIND_*, the #defines can
shadow the enum values without any errors, so we only need #ifndef guards
for the constants that predates the conversion to enum. We group these so
there's only one guard for groups of values that were added together.
