This patch adds support for the proposed type match relation to
relo_core where it is shared between userspace and kernel. It plumbs
through both kernel-side and libbpf-side support.
The matching relation is defined as follows (copy from source):
- modifiers and typedefs are stripped (and, hence, effectively ignored)
- generally speaking types need to be of same kind (struct vs. struct, union
vs. union, etc.)
- exceptions are struct/union behind a pointer which could also match a
forward declaration of a struct or union, respectively, and enum vs.
enum64 (see below)
Then, depending on type:
- integers:
- match if size and signedness match
- arrays & pointers:
- target types are recursively matched
- structs & unions:
- local members need to exist in target with the same name
- for each member we recursively check match unless it is already behind a
pointer, in which case we only check matching names and compatible kind
- enums:
- local variants have to have a match in target by symbolic name (but not
numeric value)
- size has to match (but enum may match enum64 and vice versa)
- function pointers:
- number and position of arguments in local type has to match target
- for each argument and the return value we recursively check match

In order to provide type match support we require a new type of
relocation which, in turn, requires toolchain support. Recent LLVM/Clang
versions support a new value for the last argument to the
__builtin_preserve_type_info builtin, for example.
With this change we introduce the necessary constants into relevant
header files, mirroring what the compiler may support.

The foldable function from the CI helper infrastructure conceptually
support emitting both GitHub and Travis fold markers. However, given
that we no longer run anything on Travis, let's remove its special case,
as it's effectively dead code.

We are no longer using Travis. As such, it is confusing to anyone
reading the code to see a function prefixed 'travis_' in GitHub actions
code.
This change renames the travis_fold function to 'foldable', as a first
step towards eliminating such confusing constructs from the repository
where possible.

BPF type compatibility checks (bpf_core_types_are_compat()) are
currently duplicated between kernel and user space. That's a historical
artifact more than intentional doing and can lead to subtle bugs where
one implementation is adjusted but another is forgotten.
That happened with the enum64 work, for example, where the libbpf side
was changed (commit 23b2a3a8f63a ("libbpf: Add enum64 relocation
support")) to use the btf_kind_core_compat() helper function but the
kernel side was not (commit 6089fb325cf7 ("bpf: Add btf enum64
support")).
This patch addresses both the duplication issue, by merging both
implementations and moving them into relo_core.c, and fixes the alluded
to kind check (by giving preference to libbpf's already adjusted logic).

Changelog:
v1 -> v2:
- limited libbpf recursion limit to 32
- changed name to __bpf_core_types_are_compat
- included warning previously present in libbpf version
- merged kernel and user space changes into a single patch

Checking earlier pull requests, to the best of my understanding nothing
is using Travis anymore -- all CI checks are GitHub Actions based.
Further checking the Travis repository [0] the last CI run there was 2
years ago.
Hence, let's remove stale configuration for Travis, as it's seemingly
only bitrotting and causing confusion.
