tools/bpftool: Add support for in-kernel and named BTF in `btf show`



Display vmlinux BTF name and kernel module names when listing available BTFs
on the system.

In human-readable output mode, module BTFs are reported with "name
[module-name]", while vmlinux BTF will be reported as "name [vmlinux]".
Square brackets are added by bpftool and follow kernel convention when
displaying modules in human-readable text outputs.

[vmuser@archvm bpf]$ sudo ../../../bpf/bpftool/bpftool btf s
1: name [vmlinux]  size 4082281B
6: size 2365B  prog_ids 8,6  map_ids 3
7: name [button]  size 46895B
8: name [pcspkr]  size 42328B
9: name [serio_raw]  size 39375B
10: name [floppy]  size 57185B
11: name [i2c_core]  size 76186B
12: name [crc32c_intel]  size 16036B
13: name [i2c_piix4]  size 50497B
14: name [irqbypass]  size 14124B
15: name [kvm]  size 197985B
16: name [kvm_intel]  size 123564B
17: name [cryptd]  size 42466B
18: name [crypto_simd]  size 17187B
19: name [glue_helper]  size 39205B
20: name [aesni_intel]  size 41034B
25: size 36150B
        pids bpftool(2519)

In JSON mode, two fields (boolean "kernel" and string "name") are reported for
each BTF object. vmlinux BTF is reported with name "vmlinux" (kernel itself
returns and empty name for vmlinux BTF).

[vmuser@archvm bpf]$ sudo ../../../bpf/bpftool/bpftool btf s -jp
[{
        "id": 1,
        "size": 4082281,
        "prog_ids": [],
        "map_ids": [],
        "kernel": true,
        "name": "vmlinux"
    },{
        "id": 6,
        "size": 2365,
        "prog_ids": [8,6
        ],
        "map_ids": [3
        ],
        "kernel": false
    },{
        "id": 7,
        "size": 46895,
        "prog_ids": [],
        "map_ids": [],
        "kernel": true,
        "name": "button"
    },{
