libbpf: Implement type-based CO-RE relocations support

Implement support for TYPE_EXISTS/TYPE_SIZE/TYPE_ID_LOCAL/TYPE_ID_REMOTE
relocations. These are examples of type-based relocations, as opposed to
field-based relocations supported already. The difference is that they are
calculating relocation values based on the type itself, not a field within
a struct/union.

Type-based relos have slightly different semantics when matching local types
to kernel target types, see comments in bpf_core_types_are_compat() for
details. Their behavior on failure to find target type in kernel BTF also
differs. Instead of "poisoning" relocatable instruction and failing load
subsequently in kernel, they return 0 (which is rarely a valid return result,
so user BPF code can use that to detect success/failure of the relocation and
deal with it without extra "guarding" relocations). Also, it's always possible
to check existence of the type in target kernel with TYPE_EXISTS relocation,
similarly to a field-based FIELD_EXISTS.

TYPE_ID_LOCAL relocation is a bit special in that it always succeeds (barring
any libbpf/Clang bugs) and resolved to BTF ID using **local** BTF info of BPF
program itself. Tests in subsequent patches demonstrate the usage and
semantics of new relocations.
