libbpf: split initialization and loading of BTF
Libbpf does sanitization of BTF before loading it into kernel, if kernel
doesn't support some of newer BTF features. This removes some of the
important information from BTF (e.g., DATASEC and VAR description),
which will be used for map construction. This patch splits BTF
processing into initialization step, in which BTF is initialized from
ELF and all the original data is still preserved; and
sanitization/loading step, which ensures that BTF is safe to load into
kernel. This allows to use full BTF information to construct maps, while
still loading valid BTF into older kernels.
