Add support for producing genksyms-style symtypes files. Process
die_map to find the longest expansions for each type, and use symtypes
references in type definitions. The basic file format is similar to
genksyms, with two notable exceptions:
1. Type names with spaces (common with Rust) in references are
wrapped in single quotes. E.g.:
s#'core::result::Result<u8, core::num::error::ParseIntError>'
2. The actual type definition is the simple parsed DWARF format we
output with --dump-dies, not the preprocessed C-style format
genksyms produces.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
