bpf: Add BTF_ID_LIST_GLOBAL in btf_ids.h
Existing BTF_ID_LIST used a local static variable to store btf_ids. This patch provided a new macro BTF_ID_LIST_GLOBAL to store btf_ids in a global variable which can be shared among multiple files. The existing BTF_ID_LIST is still retained. Two reasons. First, BTF_ID_LIST is also used to build btf_ids for helper arguments which typically is an array of 5. Since typically different helpers have different signature, it makes little sense to share them. Second, some current computed btf_ids are indeed local. If later those btf_ids are shared between different files, they can use BTF_ID_LIST_GLOBAL then.
