Yonghong Song 7b410ac352 [BPF] Generate BTF DebugInfo under BPF target
This patch implements BTF (BPF Type Format).
The BTF is the debug info format for BPF, introduced
in the below linux patch:
  69b693f0ae (diff-06fb1c8825f653d7e539058b72c83332)
and further extended several times, e.g.,

The main advantage of implementing in LLVM is:
   . better integration/deployment as no extra tools are needed.
   . bpf JIT based compilation (like bcc, bpftrace, etc.) can get
     BTF without much extra effort.
   . BTF line_info needs selective source codes, which can be
     easily retrieved when inside the compiler.

This patch implemented BTF generation by registering a BPF
specific DebugHandler in BPFAsmPrinter.
