Accept additional fields of a struct_ops type with all zero values even if
these fields are not in the corresponding type in the kernel. This provides
a way to be backward compatible. User space programs can use the same map
on a machine running an old kernel by clearing fields that do not exist in
the kernel.

Convert st_ops->data to the shadow type of the struct_ops map. The shadow
type of a struct_ops type is a variant of the original struct type
providing a way to access/change the values in the maps of the struct_ops
type.
bpf_map__initial_value() will return st_ops->data for struct_ops types. The
skeleton is going to use it as the pointer to the shadow type of the
original struct type.
One of the main differences between the original struct type and the shadow
type is that all function pointers of the shadow type are converted to
pointers of struct bpf_program. Users can replace these bpf_program
pointers with other BPF programs. The st_ops->progs[] will be updated
before updating the value of a map to reflect the changes made by users.

For a struct_ops map, btf_value_type_id is the type ID of it's struct
type. This value is required by bpftool to generate skeleton including
pointers of shadow types. The code generator gets the type ID from
bpf_map__btf_value_type_id() in order to get the type information of the
struct type of a map.

Locate the module BTFs for struct_ops maps and progs and pass them to the
kernel. This ensures that the kernel correctly resolves type IDs from the
appropriate module BTFs.
For the map of a struct_ops object, the FD of the module BTF is set to
bpf_map to keep a reference to the module BTF. The FD is passed to the
kernel as value_type_btf_obj_fd when the struct_ops object is loaded.
For a bpf_struct_ops prog, attach_btf_obj_fd of bpf_prog is the FD of a
module BTF in the kernel.

Pass the fd of a btf from the userspace to the bpf() syscall, and then
convert the fd into a btf. The btf is generated from the module that
defines the target BPF struct_ops type.
In order to inform the kernel about the module that defines the target
struct_ops type, the userspace program needs to provide a btf fd for the
respective module's btf. This btf contains essential information on the
types defined within the module, including the target struct_ops type.
A btf fd must be provided to the kernel for struct_ops maps and for the bpf
programs attached to those maps.
In the case of the bpf programs, the attach_btf_obj_fd parameter is passed
as part of the bpf_attr and is converted into a btf. This btf is then
stored in the prog->aux->attach_btf field. Here, it just let the verifier
access attach_btf directly.
In the case of struct_ops maps, a btf fd is passed as value_type_btf_obj_fd
of bpf_attr. The bpf_struct_ops_map_alloc() function converts the fd to a
btf and stores it as st_map->btf. A flag BPF_F_VTYPE_BTF_OBJ_FD is added
for map_flags to indicate that the value of value_type_btf_obj_fd is set.

Include btf object id (btf_obj_id) in bpf_map_info so that tools (ex:
bpftools struct_ops dump) know the correct btf from the kernel to look up
type information of struct_ops types.
Since struct_ops types can be defined and registered in a module. The
type information of a struct_ops type are defined in the btf of the
module defining it. The userspace tools need to know which btf is for
the module defining a struct_ops type.
