Refactor BTF-defined maps parsing logic to allow it to be nicely reused by BPF static linker. Further, at least for BPF static linker, it's important to know which attributes of a BPF map were defined explicitly, so provide a bit set for each known portion of BTF map definition. This allows BPF static linker to do a simple check when dealing with extern map declarations. The same capabilities allow to distinguish attributes explicitly set to zero (e.g., __uint(max_entries, 0)) vs the case of not specifying it at all (no max_entries attribute at all). Libbpf is currently not utilizing that, but it could be useful for backwards compatibility reasons later.

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.
