libbpf: Add btf__load_vmlinux_btf/btf__load_module_btf

Add two new APIs: btf__load_vmlinux_btf and btf__load_module_btf.
btf__load_vmlinux_btf is just an alias to the existing API named
libbpf_find_kernel_btf, rename to be more precisely and consistent
with existing BTF APIs. btf__load_module_btf can be used to load
module BTF, add it for completeness. These two APIs are useful for
implementing tracing tools and introspection tools. This is part
of the effort towards libbpf 1.0 ([0]).
