From: Andrii Nakryiko <andrii@xxxxxxxxxx>
Add bulk BTF type data copying API, btf__add_btf(), to libbpf. This API is
useful for tools that are manipulating BPF, such as pahole. They abstract away
the details of implementing a pretty mundane, but important to get right,
details of handling all possible BTF kinds, as well as, importantly, adjusting
BTF type IDs and copying/deduplicating strings and string offsets, referenced
from copied BTF types.
Also, being a batch API, it's possible to improve the efficiency by
preallocating necessary memory more efficiently.
This API is going to be used by pahole to implement efficient parallelized BTF
encoding.
v1->v2:
- fix typo in doc comment and selftest clean up fix (Song).

libbpf: add API that copies all BTF types from one BTF object to
another
