Previous commit f3d9054ba8ff ("btf_encoder: Teach pahole to store
percpu variables in vmlinux BTF.") introduced a feature in btf_encoder
that encodes global symbols in BTF. However, this feature is not
protected by any flag. In order to avoid surprises after Pahole v1.18
rolls out, make this feature off by default and enable only upon
request. On the kernel side, we can add a Kconfig to enable this
new capability on an opt-in pattern.
Also as a refactor, introduce '--btf_encode_force' to replace the
old '--force' and '-j' option that is used to forcefully emit BTF.

btf_encoder: Make encoding vars into BTF optional.
btf_encoder: Introduce option '--btf_encode_force'
