Implement two relocations of a new enumerator value-based CO-RE relocation kind: ENUMVAL_EXISTS and ENUMVAL_VALUE. First, ENUMVAL_EXISTS, allows to detect the presence of a named enumerator value in the target (kernel) BTF. This is useful to do BPF helper/map/program type support detection from BPF program side. bpf_core_enum_value_exists() macro helper is provided to simplify built-in usage. Second, ENUMVAL_VALUE, allows to capture enumerator integer value and relocate it according to the target BTF, if it changes. This is useful to have a guarantee against intentional or accidental re-ordering/re-numbering of some of the internal (non-UAPI) enumerations, where kernel developers don't care about UAPI backwards compatiblity concerns. bpf_core_enum_value() allows to capture this succinctly and use correct enum values in code. LLVM uses ldimm64 instruction to capture enumerator value-based relocations, so add support for ldimm64 instruction patching as well.

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.
