BTFGen needs to run the core relocation logic in order to understand
what are the types involved in a given relocation.
Currently bpf_core_apply_relo() calculates and **applies** a relocation
to an instruction. Having both operations in the same function makes it
difficult to only calculate the relocation without patching the
instruction. This commit splits that logic in two different phases: (1)
calculate the relocation and (2) patch the instruction.
For the first phase bpf_core_apply_relo() is renamed to
bpf_core_calc_relo_insn() who is now only on charge of calculating the
relocation, the second phase uses the already existing
bpf_core_patch_insn(). bpf_object__relocate_core() uses both of them and
the BTFGen will use only bpf_core_calc_relo_insn().

libbpf_set_strict_mode() checks that the passed mode doesn't contain
extra bits for LIBBPF_STRICT_* flags that don't exist yet.
It makes it difficult for applications to disable some strict flags as
something like "LIBBPF_STRICT_ALL & ~LIBBPF_STRICT_MAP_DEFINITIONS"
is rejected by this check and they have to use a rather complicated
formula to calculate it.[0]
One possibility is to change LIBBPF_STRICT_ALL to only contain the bits
of all existing LIBBPF_STRICT_* flags instead of 0xffffffff. However
it's not possible because the idea is that applications compiled against
older libbpf_legacy.h would still be opting into latest
LIBBPF_STRICT_ALL features.[1]
The other possibility is to remove that check so something like
"LIBBPF_STRICT_ALL & ~LIBBPF_STRICT_MAP_DEFINITIONS" is allowed. It's
what this commit does.
