[v2,bpf-next,0/6] Add BTF_KIND_FLOAT support

Message

Some BPF programs compiled on s390 fail to load, because s390
arch-specific linux headers contain float and double types.
    
Introduce support for such types by representing them using the new
BTF_KIND_FLOAT. This series deals with libbpf, bpftool, in-kernel BTF
parser as well as selftests and documentation.

There are also pahole and LLVM parts:

* https://github.com/iii-i/dwarves/commit/btf-kind-float-v2
* https://reviews.llvm.org/D83289

but they should go in after the libbpf part is integrated.

v0: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/[e-mail]/
v0 -> v1: Per Andrii's suggestion, remove the unnecessary trailing u32.

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/[e-mail]/
v1 -> v2: John noticed that sanitization corrupts BTF, because new and
          old sizes don't match. Per Yonghong's suggestion, use a
          modifier type (which has the same size as the float type) as
          a replacement.
          Per Yonghong's suggestion, add size and alignment checks to
          the kernel BTF parser.

Based on Alexei's feedback [1] I'm proceeding with the BTF_KIND_FLOAT
approach.
