Structs and arrays are aggregate types which contain some inner
type(s) - members and elements - at various offsets. Currently, when
examining a struct or datasec for special fields, the verifier does
not look into the inner type of the structs or arrays it contains.
This patch adds logic to descend into struct and array types when
searching for special fields.
This indeed a great improvement. Thanks!

If we have struct x containing an array:

struct x {
   int a;
   u64 b[10];
};

we can construct some struct y with no array or struct members that
has the same types at the same offsets:

struct y {
   int a;
   u64 b1;
   u64 b2;
   /* ... */
   u64 b10;
};

Similarly for a struct containing a struct:

struct x {
   char a;
   struct {
     int b;
     u64 c;
   } inner;
};

there's a struct y with no aggregate members and same types/offsets:

struct y {
   char a;
   int inner_b __attribute__ ((aligned (8))); /* See [0] */
   u64 inner_c __attribute__ ((aligned (8)));
};

This patch takes advantage of this equivalence to 'flatten' the
field info found while descending into struct or array members into
the btf_field_info result array of the original type being examined.
The resultant btf_record of the original type being searched will
have the correct fields at the correct offsets, but without any
differentiation between "this field is one of my members" and "this
field is actually in my some struct / array member".

For now this descendant search logic looks for kptr fields only.

Implementation notes:
   * Search starts at btf_find_field - we're either looking at a struct
     that's the type of some mapval (btf_find_struct_field), or a
     datasec representing a .bss or .data map (btf_find_datasec_var).
     Newly-added btf_find_aggregate_field is a "disambiguation helper"
     like btf_find_field, but is meant to be called from one of the
     starting points of the search - btf_find_{struct_field,
     datasec_var}.
     * btf_find_aggregate_field may itself call btf_find_struct_field,
       so there's some recursive digging possible here

   * Newly-added btf_flatten_array_field handles array fields by
     finding the type of their element and continuing the dig based on
     elem type.

   [0]:  Structs have the alignment of their largest field, so the
         explicit alignment is necessary here. Luckily this patch's
         changes don't need to care about alignment / padding, since
	the BTF created during compilation is being searched, and
	it already has the correct information.

As kerneltest bot mentioned, 'off' is undefined. The array_field_off
should equal the first array element struct_elem_off, right?
So I think here 'off' can be replaced with 0?

What happens if nelems = 1?
