Simplify gen_btf logic to make it work with llvm-objcopy and
llvm-objdump. We just need to retain one section .BTF. To do so, we can
use a simple objcopy --only-section=.BTF instead of jumping all the
hoops via an architecture-less binary file.
We use a dd comment to change the e_type field in the ELF header from
ET_EXEC to ET_REL so that .btf.vmlinux.bin.o will be accepted by lld.
Fixes: df786c9b9476 ("bpf: Force .BTF section start to zero when dumping from vmlinux")
