Initialize 'new_off' and 'pad_bits' to 0 and 'pad_type' to NULL in
btf_dump_emit_bit_padding to prevent compiler warnings/errors which are
observed when compiling with 'EXTRA_CFLAGS=-g -Og' options, but do not
happen when compiling with current default options.
For example, when compiling libbpf with
$ make "EXTRA_CFLAGS=-g -Og" -C tools/lib/bpf/ clean all
Clang version 17.0.6 and GCC 13.3.1 fail to compile btf_dump.c due to
following errors:
