libbpf: Make btf_parse_elf process .BTF.base transparently



Update btf_parse_elf() to check if .BTF.base section is present.
The logic is as follows:

  if .BTF.base section exists:
     distilled_base := btf_new(.BTF.base)
  if distilled_base:
     btf := btf_new(.BTF, .base_btf=distilled_base)
     if base_btf:
        btf_relocate(btf, base_btf)
  else:
     btf := btf_new(.BTF)
  return btf

In other words:
- if .BTF.base section exists, load BTF from it and use it as a base
  for .BTF load;
- if base_btf is specified and .BTF.base section exist, relocate newly
  loaded .BTF against base_btf.
