kbuild,bpf: Add module-specific pahole flags for distilled base BTF
Support creation of module BTF along with distilled base BTF; the latter is stored in a .BTF.base ELF section and supplements split BTF references to base BTF with information about base types, allowing for later relocation of split BTF with a (possibly changed) base. resolve_btfids detects the presence of a .BTF.base section and will use it instead of the base BTF it is passed in BTF id resolution. Modules will be built with a distilled .BTF.base section for external module build, i.e. make -C. -M=path2/module ...while in-tree module build as part of a normal kernel build will not generate distilled base BTF; this is because in-tree modules change with the kernel and do not require BTF relocation for the running vmlinux.
