The btf.h header included with libbpf contains inline helper functions to check for various BTF kinds. These helpers directly reference the BTF_KIND_* constants defined in the kernel header, and because the header file is included in user applications, this happens in the user application compile units. This presents a problem if a user application is compiled on a system with older kernel headers because the constants are not available. To avoid this, add #defines of the constants directly in btf.h before using them. Since the kernel header moved to an enum for BTF_KIND_*, the #defines can shadow the enum values without any errors, so we only need #ifndef guards for the constants that predates the conversion to enum. We group these so there's only one guard for groups of values that were added together.
