Streamline BPF_CORE_READ_BITFIELD_PROBED interface to follow
BPF_CORE_READ_BITFIELD (direct) and BPF_CORE_READ, in general, i.e., just
return read result or 0, if underlying bpf_probe_read() failed.
In practice, real applications rarely check bpf_probe_read() result, because
it has to always work or otherwise it's a bug. So propagating internal
bpf_probe_read() error from this macro hurts usability without providing real
benefits in practice. This patch fixes the issue and simplifies usage,
noticeable even in selftest itself.

Add bpf_core_field_size() macro, capturing a relocation against field size.
Adjust bits of internal libbpf relocation logic to allow capturing size
relocations of various field types: arrays, structs/unions, enums, etc.

Add support for the new field relocation kinds, necessary to support
relocatable bitfield reads. Provide macro for abstracting necessary code doing
full relocatable bitfield extraction into u64 value. Two separate macros are
provided:
- BPF_CORE_READ_BITFIELD macro for direct memory read-enabled BPF programs
(e.g., typed raw tracepoints). It uses direct memory dereference to extract
bitfield backing integer value.
- BPF_CORE_READ_BITFIELD_PROBED macro for cases where bpf_probe_read() needs
to be used to extract same backing integer value.

Add enum definition for Clang's __builtin_preserve_field_info()
second argument (info_kind). Currently only byte offset and existence
are supported. Corresponding Clang changes introducing this built-in can

Existing BPF_CORE_READ() macro generates slightly suboptimal code. If
there are intermediate pointers to be read, initial source pointer is
going to be assigned into a temporary variable and then temporary
variable is going to be uniformly used as a "source" pointer for all
intermediate pointer reads. Schematically (ignoring all the type casts),
BPF_CORE_READ(s, a, b, c) is expanded into:
({
const void *__t = src;
bpf_probe_read(&__t, sizeof(*__t), &__t->a);
bpf_probe_read(&__t, sizeof(*__t), &__t->b);
typeof(s->a->b->c) __r;
bpf_probe_read(&__r, sizeof(*__r), &__t->c);
})
This initial `__t = src` makes calls more uniform, but causes slightly
less optimal register usage sometimes when compiled with Clang. This can
cascase into, e.g., more register spills.
This patch fixes this issue by generating more optimal sequence:
({
const void *__t;
bpf_probe_read(&__t, sizeof(*__t), &src->a); /* <-- src here */
bpf_probe_read(&__t, sizeof(*__t), &__t->b);
typeof(s->a->b->c) __r;
bpf_probe_read(&__r, sizeof(*__r), &__t->c);
})

Add few macros simplifying BCC-like multi-level probe reads, while also
emitting CO-RE relocations for each read.
