btf: resolve enum fwds in btf_dedup
GCC and clang support enum forward declarations as an extension. Such forward-declared enums will be represented as normal BTF_KIND_ENUM types with vlen=0. This patch adds ability to resolve such enums to their corresponding fully defined enums. This helps to avoid duplicated BTF type graphs which only differ by some types referencing forward-declared enum vs full enum. One such example in kernel is enum irqchip_irq_state, defined in include/linux/interrupt.h and forward-declared in include/linux/irq.h. This causes entire struct task_struct and all referenced types to be duplicated in btf_dedup output. This patch eliminates such duplication cases.
