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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
