Add BTF_KIND_ENUM64 support. Deprecated btf__add_enum() and
btf__add_enum_value() and introduced the following new APIs
   btf__add_enum32()
   btf__add_enum32_value()
   btf__add_enum64()
   btf__add_enum64_value()
due to new kind and introduction of kflag.

To support old kernel with enum64, the sanitization is
added to replace BTF_KIND_ENUM64 with a bunch of
pointer-to-void types.

The enum64 value relocation is also supported. The enum64
forward resolution, with enum type as forward declaration
and enum64 as the actual definition, is also supported.

+int btf__add_enum32(struct btf *btf, const char *name, bool is_unsigned)

given it's still BTF_KIND_ENUM in UAPI, let's keep 32-bit ones as just
btf__add_enum()/btf__add_enum_value() and not deprecate anything.
ENUM64 can be thought about as more of a special case, so I think it's
ok.

The current btf__add_enum api:
LIBBPF_API int btf__add_enum(struct btf *btf, const char *name, __u32 bytes_sz);

The issue is it doesn't have signedness parameter. if the user input
is
    enum { A = -1, B = 0, C = 1 };
the actual printout btf format will be
    enum { A 4294967295, B = 0, C = 1}
does not match the original source.

I think I found a way to keep the current btf__add_enum() API.
Initially, the signedness will be unsigned. But during
btf__add_enum_value() api calls, if any negative value
is found, the signedness will change to signed. I think
this should work.
