BTF contains enough type information to allow generating valid
compilable C header w/ correct layout of structs/unions and all the
typedef/enum definitions. This patch adds a new "object" - btf_dump to
facilitate dumping BTF as valid C. btf_dump__dump_type() is the main API
which takes care of dumping out (through user-provided printf-like
callback function) C definitions for given type ID and it's required
dependencies. This allows for not just dumping out entirety of BTF types,
but also selective filtering based on user-provided criterias w/ minimal
set of dependent types.

Loading BTF and BTF.ext from ELF file is a common need. Instead of
requiring every user to re-implement it, let's provide this API from
libbpf itself. It's mostly copy/paste from `bpftool btf dump`
implementation, which will be switched to libbpf's version in next
patch. btf__parse_elf allows to load BTF and optionally BTF.ext.
This is also useful for tests that need to load/work with BTF, loaded
from test ELF files.

This adds libbpf support for BTF Var and DataSec kinds. Main point
here is that libbpf needs to do some preparatory work before the
whole BTF object can be loaded into the kernel, that is, fixing up
of DataSec size taken from the ELF section size and non-static
variable offset which needs to be taken from the ELF's string section.
Upstream LLVM doesn't fix these up since at time of BTF emission
it is too early in the compilation process thus this information
isn't available yet, hence loader needs to take care of it.
Note, deduplication handling has not been in the scope of this work
and needs to be addressed in a future commit.

Default size of dedup table (16k) is good enough for most binaries, even
typical vmlinux images. But there are cases of binaries with huge amount
of BTF types (e.g., allyesconfig variants of kernel), which benefit from
having bigger dedup table size to lower amount of unnecessary hash
collisions. Tools like pahole, thus, can tune this parameter to reach
optimal performance.
This change also serves double purpose of allowing tests to force hash
collisions to test some corner cases, used in follow up patch.
