Refactor BTF-defined maps parsing logic to allow it to be nicely reused by BPF static linker. Further, at least for BPF static linker, it's important to know which attributes of a BPF map were defined explicitly, so provide a bit set for each known portion of BTF map definition. This allows BPF static linker to do a simple check when dealing with extern map declarations. The same capabilities allow to distinguish attributes explicitly set to zero (e.g., __uint(max_entries, 0)) vs the case of not specifying it at all (no max_entries attribute at all). Libbpf is currently not utilizing that, but it could be useful for backwards compatibility reasons later. Signed-off-by: Andrii Nakryiko <andrii@xxxxxxxxxx>
