Andrii Nakryiko 6c11809cc8 btf: allow to customize dedup hash table size
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.

This is a mirror of bpf-next linux tree
(https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bpf/bpf-next)
bpf-next/tools/lib/bpf directory plus its supporting header files.

The following files will by sync'ed with bpf-next repo:
  src/ <-> bpf-next/tools/lib/bpf/
  include/uapi/linux/bpf_common.h <-> bpf-next/tools/include/uapi/linux/bpf_common.h
  include/uapi/linux/bpf.h <-> bpf-next/tools/include/uapi/linux/bpf.h
  include/uapi/linux/btf.h <-> bpf-next/tools/include/uapi/linux/btf.h
  include/uapi/linux/if_link.h <-> bpf-next/tools/include/uapi/linux/if_link.h
  include/uapi/linux/netlink.h <-> bpf-next/tools/include/uapi/linux/netlink.h
  include/tools/libc_compat.h <-> bpf-next/tools/include/tools/libc_compat.h

Other header files at this repo (include/linux/*.h) are reduced versions of
their counterpart files at bpf-next/tools/include/linux/*.h to make compilation
successful.
