libbpf: clean up and refactor BTF fixup step

Refactor libbpf's BTF fixup step during BPF object open phase. The only
functional change is that we now ignore BTF_VAR_GLOBAL_EXTERN variables
during fix up, not just BTF_VAR_STATIC ones, which shouldn't cause any
change in behavior as there shouldn't be any extern variable in data
sections for valid BPF object anyways.

Otherwise it's just collapsing two functions that have no reason to be
separate, and switching find_elf_var_offset() helper to return entire
symbol pointer, not just its offset. This will be used by next patch to
get ELF symbol visibility.

While refactoring, also "normalize" debug messages inside
btf_fixup_datasec() to follow general libbpf style and print out data
section name consistently, where it's available.
