That's correct.

We decided to include the whole types and all direct and indirect
types referenced from a structure field for type-based relocations.
Our reasoning is that we don't know if the matching algorithm of
libbpf could be changed to require more information in the future and
type-based relocations are few compared to field based relocations.
If you are confident enough that adding empty structures/unions is ok
then I'll update the algorithm. Actually it'll make our lives easier.

I thought that it could be more efficient calling hashmap__add()
directly without checking and then handling the case when it was
already there. Having a second thought it seems to me that it's not
always true and depends on how many times the code follows each path,
what we don't know. I'll change it to check if it's there before.

Add this before starting the recursion below. I'll update the comment
to make it more clear.

Yes, `const struct btf_type *` works fine everywhere.

This is added in _btfgen_put_type(). Here we're just updating
`btf_type` with the array's type for the next iteration of this loop.
