libbpf: Auto-detect btf_id of BTF-based raw_tracepoints
It's a responsiblity of bpf program author to annotate the program with SEC("tp_btf/name") where "name" is a valid raw tracepoint. The libbpf will try to find "name" in vmlinux BTF and error out in case vmlinux BTF is not available or "name" is not found. If "name" is indeed a valid raw tracepoint then in-kernel BTF will have "btf_trace_##name" typedef that points to function prototype of that raw tracepoint. BTF description captures exact argument the kernel C code is passing into raw tracepoint. The kernel verifier will check the types while loading bpf program. libbpf keeps BTF type id in expected_attach_type, but since kernel ignores this attribute for tracing programs copy it into attach_btf_id attribute before loading. Later the kernel will use prog->attach_btf_id to select raw tracepoint during bpf_raw_tracepoint_open syscall command.
