build: add option KERNEL_DEBUG_INFO_BTF

Browse Source 
Generate BTF (BPF Type Format) information from DWARF debug info. This is
embedded in the kernel and exported via sysfs as /sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux.
BTF data enhances kernel portability and introspection for BPF programs.

Selecting this also enables the dwarves host package which provides the
pahole tool used for BTF encoding.

Test using: "bpftool btf dump file /sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux format c"

This needs to depend on KERNEL_DEBUG_INFO_REDUCED not being set,
otherwise we can enable both KERNEL_DEBUG_INFO_BTF and
KERNEL_DEBUG_INFO_REDUCED, which will result in undefined behaviour.

Generate BPF Type Format (BTF) information from DWARF debug info.
Turning this on expects presence of pahole tool, which will convert
DWARF type info into equivalent deduplicated BTF type info.
