tools/bpf: add support to read .BTF.ext sections
The .BTF section is already available to encode types. These types can be used for map pretty print. The whole .BTF will be passed to the kernel as well for which kernel can verify and return to the user space for pretty print etc. The llvm patch at https://reviews.llvm.org/D53736 will generate .BTF section and one more section .BTF.ext. The .BTF.ext section encodes function type information and line information. Note that this patch set only supports function type info. The functionality is implemented in libbpf. The .BTF section can be directly loaded into the kernel, and the .BTF.ext section cannot. The loader may need to do some relocation and merging, similar to merging multiple code sections, before loading into the kernel.
