libbpf: Ensure new BTF objects inherit input endianness

New split BTF needs to preserve base's endianness. Similarly, when
creating a distilled BTF, we need to preserve original endianness.

Fix by updating libbpf's btf__distill_base() and btf_new_empty() to retain
the byte order of any source BTF objects when creating new ones.

Fixes: ba451366 ("libbpf: Implement basic split BTF support")
Fixes: 58e185a0 ("libbpf: Add btf__distill_base() creating split BTF with distilled base BTF")
