bpf: pass attached BTF to the bpf_struct_ops subsystem

Pass the fd of a btf from the userspace to the bpf() syscall, and then
convert the fd into a btf. The btf is generated from the module that
defines the target BPF struct_ops type.

In order to inform the kernel about the module that defines the target
struct_ops type, the userspace program needs to provide a btf fd for the
respective module's btf. This btf contains essential information on the
types defined within the module, including the target struct_ops type.

A btf fd must be provided to the kernel for struct_ops maps and for the bpf
programs attached to those maps.

In the case of the bpf programs, the attach_btf_obj_fd parameter is passed
as part of the bpf_attr and is converted into a btf. This btf is then
stored in the prog->aux->attach_btf field. Here, it just let the verifier
access attach_btf directly.

In the case of struct_ops maps, a btf fd is passed as value_type_btf_obj_fd
of bpf_attr. The bpf_struct_ops_map_alloc() function converts the fd to a
btf and stores it as st_map->btf. A flag BPF_F_VTYPE_BTF_OBJ_FD is added
for map_flags to indicate that the value of value_type_btf_obj_fd is set.
