Allocate ID for vmlinux BTF. This makes it visible when iterating over all BTF
objects in the system. To allow distinguishing vmlinux BTF (and later kernel
module BTF) from user-provided BTFs, expose extra kernel_btf flag, as well as
BTF name ("vmlinux" for vmlinux BTF, will equal to module's name for module
BTF). We might want to later allow specifying BTF name for user-provided BTFs
as well, if that makes sense. But currently this is reserved only for
in-kernel BTFs.
Having in-kernel BTFs exposed IDs will allow to extend BPF APIs that require
in-kernel BTF type with ability to specify BTF types from kernel modules, not
just vmlinux BTF. This will be implemented in a follow up patch set for
fentry/fexit/fmod_ret/lsm/etc.
