bpf: Add bpf_snprintf_btf helper

A helper is added to support tracing kernel type information in BPF
using the BPF Type Format (BTF).  Its signature is

long bpf_snprintf_btf(char *str, u32 str_size, struct btf_ptr *ptr,
		      u32 btf_ptr_size, u64 flags);

struct btf_ptr * specifies

- a pointer to the data to be traced
- the BTF id of the type of data pointed to
- a flags field is provided for future use; these flags
  are not to be confused with the BTF_F_* flags
  below that control how the btf_ptr is displayed; the
  flags member of the struct btf_ptr may be used to
  disambiguate types in kernel versus module BTF, etc;
  the main distinction is the flags relate to the type
  and information needed in identifying it; not how it
  is displayed.

For example a BPF program with a struct sk_buff *skb
could do the following:

	static struct btf_ptr b = { };

	b.ptr = skb;
	b.type_id = __builtin_btf_type_id(struct sk_buff, 1);
	bpf_snprintf_btf(str, sizeof(str), &b, sizeof(b), 0, 0);

Default output looks like this:

(struct sk_buff){
 .transport_header = (__u16)65535,
 .mac_header = (__u16)65535,
 .end = (sk_buff_data_t)192,
 .head = (unsigned char *)0x000000007524fd8b,
 .data = (unsigned char *)0x000000007524fd8b,
 .truesize = (unsigned int)768,
 .users = (refcount_t){
  .refs = (atomic_t){
   .counter = (int)1,
  },
 },
}

Flags modifying display are as follows:

- BTF_F_COMPACT:	no formatting around type information
- BTF_F_NONAME:		no struct/union member names/types
- BTF_F_PTR_RAW:	show raw (unobfuscated) pointer values;
			equivalent to %px.
- BTF_F_ZERO:		show zero-valued struct/union members;
			they are not displayed by default

* Description
* Use BTF to store a string representation of *ptr*->ptr in *str*,
* using *ptr*->type_id. This value should specify the type
* that *ptr*->ptr points to. LLVM __builtin_btf_type_id(type, 1)
* can be used to look up vmlinux BTF type ids. Traversing the
* data structure using BTF, the type information and values are
* stored in the first *str_size* - 1 bytes of *str*. Safe copy of
* the pointer data is carried out to avoid kernel crashes during
* operation. Smaller types can use string space on the stack;
* larger programs can use map data to store the string
* representation.
*
* The string can be subsequently shared with userspace via
* bpf_perf_event_output() or ring buffer interfaces.
* bpf_trace_printk() is to be avoided as it places too small
* a limit on string size to be useful.
