libbpf: Improve usability of field-based CO-RE helpers
Allow to specify field reference in two ways: - if user has variable of necessary type, they can use variable-based reference (my_var.my_field or my_var_ptr->my_field). This was the only supported syntax up till now. - now, bpf_core_field_exists() and bpf_core_field_size() support also specifying field in a fashion similar to offsetof() macro, by specifying type of the containing struct/union separately and field name separately: bpf_core_field_exists(struct my_type, my_field). This forms is quite often more convenient in practice and it matches type-based CO-RE helpers that support specifying type by its name without requiring any variables.
