Andrii Nakryiko 87dbdc230d libbpf: Don't require full struct enum64 in UAPI headers
Drop the requirement for system-wide kernel UAPI headers to provide full
struct btf_enum64 definition. This is an unexpected requirement that
slipped in libbpf 1.0 and put unnecessary pressure ([0]) on users to have
a bleeding-edge kernel UAPI header from unreleased Linux 6.0.

To achieve this, we forward declare struct btf_enum64. But that's not
enough as there is btf_enum64_value() helper that expects to know the
layout of struct btf_enum64. So we get a bit creative with
reinterpreting memory layout as array of __u32 and accesing lo32/hi32
fields as array elements. Alternative way would be to have a local
pointer variable for anonymous struct with exactly the same layout as
struct btf_enum64, but that gets us into C++ compiler errors complaining
about invalid type casts. So play it safe, if ugly.
