This patch adds pretty print capability for data with BTF type info.
The current usage is to allow pretty print for a BPF map.
The next few patches will allow a read() on a pinned map with BTF
type info for its key and value.
This patch uses the seq_printf() infra.

This patch checks a few things of struct's members:
1) It has a valid size (e.g. a "const void" is invalid)
2) A member's size (+ its member's offset) does not exceed
the containing struct's size.
3) The member's offset satisfies the alignment requirement
The above can only be done after the needs_resolve member's type
is resolved. Hence, the above is done together in
btf_struct_resolve().
Each possible member's type (e.g. int, enum, modifier...) implements
the check_member() ops which will be called from btf_struct_resolve().

After collecting all btf_type in the first pass in an earlier patch,
the second pass (in this patch) can validate the reference types
(e.g. the referring type does exist and it does not refer to itself).
While checking the reference type, it also gathers other information (e.g.
the size of an array). This info will be useful in checking the
struct's members in a later patch. They will also be useful in doing
pretty print later.

This patch introduces BPF type Format (BTF).
BTF (BPF Type Format) is the meta data format which describes
the data types of BPF program/map. Hence, it basically focus
on the C programming language which the modern BPF is primary
using. The first use case is to provide a generic pretty print
capability for a BPF map.
BTF has its root from CTF (Compact C-Type format). To simplify
the handling of BTF data, BTF removes the differences between
small and big type/struct-member. Hence, BTF consistently uses u32
instead of supporting both "one u16" and "two u32 (+padding)" in
describing type and struct-member.
It also raises the number of types (and functions) limit
from 0x7fff to 0x7fffffff.
Due to the above changes, the format is not compatible to CTF.
Hence, BTF starts with a new BTF_MAGIC and version number.
This patch does the first verification pass to the BTF. The first
pass checks:
1. meta-data size (e.g. It does not go beyond the total btf's size)
2. name_offset is valid
3. Each BTF_KIND (e.g. int, enum, struct....) does its
own check of its meta-data.
Some other checks, like checking a struct's member is referring
to a valid type, can only be done in the second pass. The second
verification pass will be implemented in the next patch.
