bpf, libbpf: add support for BTF Var and DataSec
This adds libbpf support for BTF Var and DataSec kinds. Main point here is that libbpf needs to do some preparatory work before the whole BTF object can be loaded into the kernel, that is, fixing up of DataSec size taken from the ELF section size and non-static variable offset which needs to be taken from the ELF's string section. Upstream LLVM doesn't fix these up since at time of BTF emission it is too early in the compilation process thus this information isn't available yet, hence loader needs to take care of it. Note, deduplication handling has not been in the scope of this work and needs to be addressed in a future commit.
