Add new libbpf API function libbpf_get_type_btf_id() to provide a
short way to get the pair of BTF ID << 32 | type ID for the provided
type. The primary purpose is to use it in userspace BPF prog loaders
to pass those IDs to the kernel to tell what XDP generic metadata to
create, as well as in AF_XDP programs to be able to compare them
against the ones from frame metadata.
