Andrii Nakryiko eacaaed784 libbpf: Implement enum value-based CO-RE relocations
Implement two relocations of a new enumerator value-based CO-RE relocation
kind: ENUMVAL_EXISTS and ENUMVAL_VALUE.

First, ENUMVAL_EXISTS, allows to detect the presence of a named enumerator
value in the target (kernel) BTF. This is useful to do BPF helper/map/program
type support detection from BPF program side. bpf_core_enum_value_exists()
macro helper is provided to simplify built-in usage.

Second, ENUMVAL_VALUE, allows to capture enumerator integer value and relocate
it according to the target BTF, if it changes. This is useful to have
a guarantee against intentional or accidental re-ordering/re-numbering of some
of the internal (non-UAPI) enumerations, where kernel developers don't care
about UAPI backwards compatiblity concerns. bpf_core_enum_value() allows to
capture this succinctly and use correct enum values in code.

LLVM uses ldimm64 instruction to capture enumerator value-based relocations,
so add support for ldimm64 instruction patching as well.
