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.
