bpftool: add ability to dump BTF types
Add new `btf dump` sub-command to bpftool. It allows to dump human-readable low-level BTF types representation of BTF types. BTF can be retrieved from few different sources: - from BTF object by ID; - from PROG, if it has associated BTF; - from MAP, if it has associated BTF data; it's possible to narrow down types to either key type, value type, both, or all BTF types; - from ELF file (.BTF section). Output format mostly follows BPF verifier log format with few notable exceptions: - all the type/field/param/etc names are enclosed in single quotes to allow easier grepping and to stand out a little bit more; - FUNC_PROTO output follows STRUCT/UNION/ENUM format of having one line per each argument; this is more uniform and allows easy grepping, as opposed to succinct, but inconvenient format that BPF verifier log is using.
