kbuild,bpf: Add module-specific pahole flags for distilled base BTF

Browse Source 
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.
