This commit implements the logic for the gen min_core_btf command. Specifically, it implements the following functions: - minimize_btf(): receives the path of a source and destination BTF files and a list of BPF objects. This function records the relocations for all objects and then generates the BTF file by calling btfgen_get_btf() (implemented in the following commit). - btfgen_record_obj(): loads the BTF and BTF.ext sections of the BPF objects and loops through all CO-RE relocations. It uses bpf_core_calc_relo_insn() from libbpf and passes the target spec to btfgen_record_reloc(), that calls one of the following functions depending on the relocation kind. - btfgen_record_field_relo(): uses the target specification to mark all the types that are involved in a field-based CO-RE relocation. In this case types resolved and marked recursively using btfgen_mark_type(). Only the struct and union members (and their types) involved in the relocation are marked to optimize the size of the generated BTF file. - btfgen_record_type_relo(): marks the types involved in a type-based CO-RE relocation. In this case no members for the struct and union types are marked as libbpf doesn't use them while performing this kind of relocation. Pointed types are marked as they are used by libbpf in this case. - btfgen_record_enumval_relo(): marks the whole enum type for enum-based relocations.

README
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.
