Hengqi Chen 962f241379 libbpf: Support uniform BTF-defined key/value specification across all BPF maps
A bunch of BPF maps do not support specifying BTF types for key and value.
This is non-uniform and inconvenient[0]. Currently, libbpf uses a retry
logic which removes BTF type IDs when BPF map creation failed. Instead
of retrying, this commit recognizes those specialized maps and removes
BTF type IDs when creating BPF map.

Hengqi Chen e65d128903 libbpf: Add btf__load_vmlinux_btf/btf__load_module_btf
Add two new APIs: btf__load_vmlinux_btf and btf__load_module_btf.
btf__load_vmlinux_btf is just an alias to the existing API named
libbpf_find_kernel_btf, rename to be more precisely and consistent
with existing BTF APIs. btf__load_module_btf can be used to load
module BTF, add it for completeness. These two APIs are useful for
implementing tracing tools and introspection tools. This is part
of the effort towards libbpf 1.0 ([0]).
