Add APIs for appending new BTF types at the end of BTF object.
Each BTF kind has either one API of the form btf__append_<kind>(). For types
that have variable amount of additional items (struct/union, enum, func_proto,
datasec), additional API is provided to emit each such item. E.g., for
emitting a struct, one would use the following sequence of API calls:
btf__append_struct(...);
btf__append_field(...);
...
btf__append_field(...);
Each btf__append_field() will ensure that the last BTF type is of STRUCT or
UNION kind and will automatically increment that type's vlen field.
All the strings are provided as C strings (const char *), not a string offset.
This significantly improves usability of BTF writer APIs. All such strings
will be automatically appended to string section or existing string will be
re-used, if such string was already added previously.
Each API attempts to do all the reasonable validations, like enforcing
non-empty names for entities with required names, proper value bounds, various
bit offset restrictions, etc.
Type ID validation is minimal because it's possible to emit a type that refers
to type that will be emitted later, so libbpf has no way to enforce such
cases. User must be careful to properly emit all the necessary types and
specify type IDs that will be valid in the finally generated BTF.
Each of btf__append_<kind>() APIs return new type ID on success or negative
value on error. APIs like btf__append_field() that emit additional items
return zero on success and negative value on error.
