Add support for specifying multiple file sources in 'bpftool btf dump' to generate a single C header containing types from vmlinux plus multiple kernel modules: bpftool btf dump file /sys/kernel/btf/mod1 file /sys/kernel/btf/mod2 format c This is useful for BPF programs that need to access types defined in kernel modules. Previously this required a separate bpftool invocation for each module, producing separate headers that could not be combined due to overlapping vmlinux type definitions. The implementation collects all file paths, then for the multi-file case creates an empty split BTF on the vmlinux base and iteratively merges each module's types into it via btf__add_btf(). The single-file code path is preserved exactly to avoid any regression risk. Auto-detection of vmlinux as the base BTF from sysfs paths works as before. If vmlinux itself appears in the file list it is skipped with a warning since its types are already provided by the base.
