bpf: Reliably preserve btf_trace_xxx types
btf_trace_xxx types, crucial for tp_btf BPF programs (raw tracepoint with verifier-checked direct memory access), have to be preserved in kernel BTF to allow verifier do its job and enforce type/memory safety. It was reported ([0]) that for kernels built with Clang current type-casting approach doesn't preserve these types. This patch fixes it by declaring an anonymous union for each registered tracepoint, capturing both struct bpf_raw_event_map information, as well as recording btf_trace_##call type reliably. Structurally, it's still the same content as for a plain struct bpf_raw_event_map, so no other changes are necessary.
