Inclusion of the header linux/btf_ids.h relies on indirect inclusion of
the header linux/types.h. Including it directly on the top level helps
to avoid potential problems if linux/types.h hasn't been included
before.
The main motiviation to introduce this it is to avoid similar problems that
nit: spelling
was shown up in the bpf tool where GNU libc indirectly pulls
linux/types.h causing compile error of the form:
error: unknown type name 'u32'
u32 cnt;
^~~
The bpf tool compile error was fixed at 62248b22d01e96a4d669cde0d7005bd51ebf9e76

Lgtm, not sure if its worth it but also doesn't hurt and aligns the header
from tooling a bit closer to the kernel one. Just to clarify, this does not
fix a concrete issue today, so small 'cleanup' rather than 'fix'.
Thanks,
