92b57121ca bpf: btf: export btf types and name by offset from lib
This patch introduces btf__resolve_type() function and exports two
existing functions from libbpf. btf__resolve_type follows modifier
types like const and typedef until it hits a type which actually takes
up memory, and then returns it. This function follows similar pattern
to btf__resolve_size but instead of computing size, it just returns
the type.

These  functions will be used in the followig patch which parses
information inside array of `struct btf_type *`. btf_name_by_offset is
used for printing variable names.

8a138aed4a bpf: btf: Add BTF support to libbpf
If the ".BTF" elf section exists, libbpf will try to create
a btf_fd (through BPF_BTF_LOAD).  If that fails, it will still
continue loading the bpf prog/map without the BTF.

If the bpf_object has a BTF loaded, it will create a map with the btf_fd.
libbpf will try to figure out the btf_key_id and btf_value_id of a map by
finding the BTF type with name "<map_name>_key" and "<map_name>_value".
If they cannot be found, it will continue without using the BTF.
