Turns out C allows to force enum to be 1-byte or 8-byte explicitly using mode(byte) or mode(word), respecticely. Linux sources are using this in some cases. This is imporant to handle correctly, as enum size determines corresponding fields in a struct that use that enum type. And if enum size is incorrect, this will lead to invalid struct layout. So add mode(byte) and mode(word) attribute support to btf_dump APIs.
