The series allows the BPF loader to figure out the btf_key_id and btf_value_id from a map's name by using BPF_ANNOTATE_KV_PAIR. It also removes the old 'typedef' way which requires two separate typedefs (one for the key and one for the value).
By doing this, iproute2 and libbpf have one consistent way to figure out the btf_key_type_id and btf_value_type_id for a map. The first two patches are some prep/cleanup works. The last patch introduces BPF_ANNOTATE_KV_PAIR.
