This patch exposes bpf_find_kernel_btf() as a LIBBPF_API.
It will be used in 'bpftool map dump' in a following patch
to dump a map with btf_vmlinux_value_type_id set.
bpf_find_kernel_btf() is renamed to libbpf_find_kernel_btf()
and moved to btf.c. As <linux/kernel.h> is included,
some of the max/min type casting needs to be fixed.

This patch adds BPF STRUCT_OPS support to libbpf.
The only sec_name convention is SEC(".struct_ops") to identify the
struct_ops implemented in BPF,
e.g. To implement a tcp_congestion_ops:
SEC(".struct_ops")
struct tcp_congestion_ops dctcp = {
.init = (void *)dctcp_init, /* <-- a bpf_prog */
/* ... some more func prts ... */
.name = "bpf_dctcp",
};
Each struct_ops is defined as a global variable under SEC(".struct_ops")
as above. libbpf creates a map for each variable and the variable name
is the map's name. Multiple struct_ops is supported under
SEC(".struct_ops").
In the bpf_object__open phase, libbpf will look for the SEC(".struct_ops")
section and find out what is the btf-type the struct_ops is
implementing. Note that the btf-type here is referring to
a type in the bpf_prog.o's btf. A "struct bpf_map" is added
by bpf_object__add_map() as other maps do. It will then
collect (through SHT_REL) where are the bpf progs that the
func ptrs are referring to. No btf_vmlinux is needed in
the open phase.
In the bpf_object__load phase, the map-fields, which depend
on the btf_vmlinux, are initialized (in bpf_map__init_kern_struct_ops()).
It will also set the prog->type, prog->attach_btf_id, and
prog->expected_attach_type. Thus, the prog's properties do
not rely on its section name.
[ Currently, the bpf_prog's btf-type ==> btf_vmlinux's btf-type matching
process is as simple as: member-name match + btf-kind match + size match.
If these matching conditions fail, libbpf will reject.
The current targeting support is "struct tcp_congestion_ops" which
most of its members are function pointers.
The member ordering of the bpf_prog's btf-type can be different from
the btf_vmlinux's btf-type. ]
Then, all obj->maps are created as usual (in bpf_object__create_maps()).
Once the maps are created and prog's properties are all set,
the libbpf will proceed to load all the progs.
bpf_map__attach_struct_ops() is added to register a struct_ops
map to a kernel subsystem.

For BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACING, the bpf_prog's ctx is an array of u64.
This patch borrows the idea from BPF_CALL_x in filter.h to
convert a u64 to the arg type of the traced function.
The new BPF_TRACE_x has an arg to specify the return type of a bpf_prog.
It will be used in the future TCP-ops bpf_prog that may return "void".
The new macros are defined in the new header file "bpf_trace_helpers.h".
It is under selftests/bpf/ for now. It could be moved to libbpf later
after seeing more upcoming non-tracing use cases.
The tests are changed to use these new macros also. Hence,
the k[s]u8/16/32/64 are no longer needed and they are removed
from the bpf_helpers.h.

This patch supports probing for the new BPF_MAP_TYPE_SK_STORAGE.
BPF_MAP_TYPE_SK_STORAGE enforces BTF usage, so the new probe
requires to create and load a BTF also.
