libbpf: Add btf__set_fd() for more control over loaded BTF FD
Add setter for BTF FD to allow application more fine-grained control in more advanced scenarios. Storing BTF FD inside `struct btf` provides little benefit and probably would be better done differently (e.g., btf__load() could just return FD on success), but we are stuck with this due to backwards compatibility. The main problem is that it's impossible to load BTF and than free user-space memory, but keep FD intact, because `struct btf` assumes ownership of that FD upon successful load and will attempt to close it during btf__free(). To allow callers (e.g., libbpf itself for BTF sanitization) to have more control over this, add btf__set_fd() to allow to reset FD arbitrarily, if necessary.
