If BPF object file is using global variables, but is compiled without BTF or
ends up having only some of DATASEC types due to static linking, generated
skeleton won't compile, as some parts of skeleton would assume memory-mapped
struct definitions for each special data section.
Fix this by generating empty struct definition for such data sections. The
benefit of that is that they still will be memory-mapped by skeleton handling
code in libbpf, and user-space parts of user application would be able to
access data in them (though pointer casting), assuming they know the memory
layout they need.
