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.

Now that we have btf__get_raw_data() it's trivial for tests to iterate
over all strings for testing purposes, which eliminates the need for
btf__get_strings() API.

This patch changes struct btf_ext to retain original data in sequential
block of memory, which makes it possible to expose
btf_ext__get_raw_data() interface similar to btf__get_raw_data(), allowing
users of libbpf to get access to raw representation of .BTF.ext section.

This patch exposes new API btf__get_raw_data() that allows to get a copy
of raw BTF data out of struct btf. This is useful for external programs
that need to manipulate raw data, e.g., pahole using btf__dedup() to
deduplicate BTF type info and then writing it back to file.

This change splits out previous btf__new functionality of constructing
struct btf and loading it into kernel into two:
- btf__new() just creates and initializes struct btf
- btf__load() attempts to load existing struct btf into kernel

btf__free will still close BTF fd, if it was ever loaded successfully
into kernel.

This change allows users of libbpf to manipulate BTF using its API,
without the need to unnecessarily load it into kernel.

One of the intended use cases is pahole, which will do DWARF to BTF
conversion and then use libbpf to do type deduplication, while then
handling ELF sections overwriting and other concerns on its own.

Commit 96408c43447a ("tools/bpf: implement libbpf btf__get_map_kv_tids() API function")
added the API function btf__get_map_kv_tids():
  btf__get_map_kv_tids(const struct btf *btf, char *map_name, ...)

The parameter map_name has type "char *". This is okay inside libbpf library since
the map_name is from bpf_map->name which also has type "char *".

This will be problematic if the caller for map_name already has attribute "const",
e.g., from C++ string.c_str(). It will result in either a warning or an error.

  /home/yhs/work/bcc/src/cc/btf.cc:166:51:
    error: invalid conversion from ‘const char*’ to ‘char*’ [-fpermissive]
      return btf__get_map_kv_tids(btf_, map_name.c_str()

This patch added "const" attributes to map_name parameter.

This patch sets up a new kind of tests (BTF dedup tests) and tests few aspects of
BTF dedup algorithm. More complete set of tests will come in follow up patches.

This patch implements BTF types deduplication algorithm. It allows to
greatly compress typical output of pahole's DWARF-to-BTF conversion or
LLVM's compilation output by detecting and collapsing identical types emitted in
isolation per compilation unit. Algorithm also resolves struct/union forward
declarations into concrete BTF types representing referenced struct/union. If
undesired, this resolution can be disabled through specifying corresponding options.

Algorithm itself and its application to Linux kernel's BTF types is
described in details at:

Currently, to get map key/value type id's, the macro
  BPF_ANNOTATE_KV_PAIR(<map_name>, <key_type>, <value_type>)
needs to be defined in the bpf program for the
corresponding map.

During program/map loading time,
the local static function bpf_map_find_btf_info()
in libbpf.c is implemented to retrieve the key/value
type ids given the map name.

The patch refactored function bpf_map_find_btf_info()
to create an API btf__get_map_kv_tids() which includes
the bulk of implementation for the original function.
The API btf__get_map_kv_tids() can be used by bcc,
a JIT based bpf compilation system, which uses the
same BPF_ANNOTATE_KV_PAIR to record map key/value types.
