libbpf: Add BPF-side definitions of supported field relocation kinds
Add enum definition for Clang's __builtin_preserve_field_info() second argument (info_kind). Currently only byte offset and existence are supported. Corresponding Clang changes introducing this built-in can be found at [0] [0] https://reviews.llvm.org/D67980 Signed-off-by: Andrii Nakryiko <andriin@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20191015182849.3922287-5-andriin@fb.com
