Mauricio Vásquez a9caaba399 bpftool: Implement "gen min_core_btf" logic
This commit implements the logic for the gen min_core_btf command.
Specifically, it implements the following functions:

- minimize_btf(): receives the path of a source and destination BTF
files and a list of BPF objects. This function records the relocations
for all objects and then generates the BTF file by calling
btfgen_get_btf() (implemented in the following commit).

- btfgen_record_obj(): loads the BTF and BTF.ext sections of the BPF
objects and loops through all CO-RE relocations. It uses
bpf_core_calc_relo_insn() from libbpf and passes the target spec to
btfgen_record_reloc(), that calls one of the following functions
depending on the relocation kind.

- btfgen_record_field_relo(): uses the target specification to mark all
the types that are involved in a field-based CO-RE relocation. In this
case types resolved and marked recursively using btfgen_mark_type().
Only the struct and union members (and their types) involved in the
relocation are marked to optimize the size of the generated BTF file.

- btfgen_record_type_relo(): marks the types involved in a type-based
CO-RE relocation. In this case no members for the struct and union types
are marked as libbpf doesn't use them while performing this kind of
relocation. Pointed types are marked as they are used by libbpf in this
case.

- btfgen_record_enumval_relo(): marks the whole enum type for enum-based
relocations.
