Adjust in-kernel BTF implementation to support a split BTF mode of operation. Changes are mostly mirroring libbpf split BTF changes, with the exception of start_id being 0 for in-kernel implementation due to simpler read-only mode. Otherwise, for split BTF logic, most of the logic of jumping to base BTF, where necessary, is encapsulated in few helper functions. Type numbering and string offset in a split BTF are logically continuing where base BTF ends, so most of the high-level logic is kept without changes. Type verification and size resolution is only doing an added resolution of new split BTF types and relies on already cached size and type resolution results in the base BTF.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
