tools/bpf: implement libbpf btf__get_map_kv_tids() API function
Currently, to get map key/value type id's, the macro BPF_ANNOTATE_KV_PAIR(<map_name>, <key_type>, <value_type>) needs to be defined in the bpf program for the corresponding map. During program/map loading time, the local static function bpf_map_find_btf_info() in libbpf.c is implemented to retrieve the key/value type ids given the map name. The patch refactored function bpf_map_find_btf_info() to create an API btf__get_map_kv_tids() which includes the bulk of implementation for the original function. The API btf__get_map_kv_tids() can be used by bcc, a JIT based bpf compilation system, which uses the same BPF_ANNOTATE_KV_PAIR to record map key/value types.
