bpf: Populate pairs of btf_id and destructor kfunc in btf



To support storing referenced PTR_TO_BTF_ID in maps, we require
associating a specific BTF ID with a 'destructor' kfunc. This is because
we need to release a live referenced pointer at a certain offset in map
value from the map destruction path, otherwise we end up leaking
resources.

Hence, introduce support for passing an array of btf_id, kfunc_btf_id
pairs that denote a BTF ID and its associated release function. Then,
add an accessor 'btf_find_dtor_kfunc' which can be used to look up the
destructor kfunc of a certain BTF ID. If found, we can use it to free
the object from the map free path.

The registration of these pairs also serve as a whitelist of structures
which are allowed as referenced PTR_TO_BTF_ID in a BPF map, because
without finding the destructor kfunc, we will bail and return an error.
