selftests/bpf: List newest Clang built-ins needed for some CO-RE selftests

Record which built-ins are optional and needed for some of recent BPF CO-RE
subtests. Document Clang diff that fixed corner-case issue with
__builtin_btf_type_id().

BPF CO-RE-based tests and Clang version
=======================================
A set of selftests use BPF target-specific built-ins, which might require
bleeding-edge Clang versions (Clang 12 nightly at this time).
Few sub-tests of core_reloc test suit (part of test_progs test runner) require
the following built-ins, listed with corresponding Clang diffs introducing
them to Clang/LLVM. These sub-tests are going to be skipped if Clang is too
old to support them, they shouldn't cause build failures or runtime test
failures:
- __builtin_btf_type_id() ([0], [1], [2]);
- __builtin_preserve_type_info(), __builtin_preserve_enum_value() ([3], [4]).
