Subject: [PATCHv2] bpftool: Try to read btf as raw data if elf read fails

From: Jiri Olsa <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 24 Oct 2019 15:23:41 +0200

The bpftool interface stays the same, but now it's possible
to run it over BTF raw data, like:

  $ bpftool btf dump file /sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux
  [1] INT '(anon)' size=4 bits_offset=0 nr_bits=32 encoding=(none)
  [2] INT 'long unsigned int' size=8 bits_offset=0 nr_bits=64 encoding=(none)
  [3] CONST '(anon)' type_id=2

v2 changes:
 - added is_btf_raw to find out which btf__parse_* function to call
 - changed labels and error propagation in btf__parse_raw 
 - drop the err initialization, which is not needed under this change
