This change splits out previous btf__new functionality of constructing struct btf and loading it into kernel into two: - btf__new() just creates and initializes struct btf - btf__load() attempts to load existing struct btf into kernel btf__free will still close BTF fd, if it was ever loaded successfully into kernel. This change allows users of libbpf to manipulate BTF using its API, without the need to unnecessarily load it into kernel. One of the intended use cases is pahole, which will do DWARF to BTF conversion and then use libbpf to do type deduplication, while then handling ELF sections overwriting and other concerns on its own.
