bpftool: Apply preserve_access_index attribute to all types in BTF dump

Browse Source 
This patch makes structs and unions, emitted through BTF dump, automatically
CO-RE-relocatable (unless disabled with `#define BPF_NO_PRESERVE_ACCESS_INDEX`,
specified before including generated header file).

This effectivaly turns usual bpf_probe_read() call into equivalent of
bpf_core_read(), by automatically applying builtin_preserve_access_index to
any field accesses of types in generated C types header.

This is especially useful for tp_btf/fentry/fexit BPF program types. They
allow direct memory access, so BPF C code just uses straightfoward a->b->c
access pattern to read data from kernel. But without kernel structs marked as
CO-RE relocatable through preserve_access_index attribute, one has to enclose
all the data reads into a special __builtin_preserve_access_index code block,
like so:

__builtin_preserve_access_index(({
    x = p->pid; /* where p is struct task_struct *, for example */
}));

This is very inconvenient and obscures the logic quite a bit. By marking all
auto-generated types with preserve_access_index attribute the above code is
reduced to just a clean and natural `x = p->pid;`.
