Return values of the linker_append_sec_data() and the
linker_append_elf_relos() functions are propagated all the
way up to users of libbpf API. In some error cases these
functions return -1 which will be seen as -EPERM from user's
point of view. Instead, return a more reasonable -EINVAL.

With the latest LLVM bpf selftests build will fail with
the following error message:
progs/profiler.inc.h:710:31: error: default initialization of an object of type 'typeof ((parent_task)->real_cred->uid.val)' (aka 'const unsigned int') leaves the object uninitialized and is incompatible with C++ [-Werror,-Wdefault-const-init-unsafe]
710 | proc_exec_data->parent_uid = BPF_CORE_READ(parent_task, real_cred, uid.val);
| ^
tools/testing/selftests/bpf/tools/include/bpf/bpf_core_read.h:520:35: note: expanded from macro 'BPF_CORE_READ'
520 | ___type((src), a, ##__VA_ARGS__) __r; \
| ^
This happens because BPF_CORE_READ (and other macro) declare the
variable __r using the ___type macro which can inherit const modifier
from intermediate types.
Fix this by using __typeof_unqual__, when supported. (And when it
is not supported, the problem shouldn't appear, as older compilers
haven't complained.)

BTF dedup has a strong assumption that compiler with deduplicate identical types within any given compilation unit (i.e., .c file). This property is used when establishing equilvalence of two subgraphs of types. Unfortunately, this property doesn't always holds in practice. We've seen cases of having truly identical structs, unions, array definitions, and, most recently, even pointers to the same type being duplicated within CU. Previously, we mitigated this on a case-by-case basis, adding a few simple heuristics for validating that two BTF types (having two different type IDs) are structurally the same. But this approach scales poorly, and we can have more weird cases come up in the future. So let's take a half-step back, and implement a bit more generic structural equivalence check, recursively. We still limit it to reasonable depth to avoid long reference loops. Depth-wise limiting of potentially cyclical graph isn't great, but as I mentioned below doesn't seem to be detrimental performance-wise. We can always improve this in the future with per-type visited markers, if necessary. Performance-wise this doesn't seem too affect vmlinux BTF dedup, which makes sense because this logic kicks in not so frequently and only if we already established a canonical candidate type match, but suddenly find a different (but probably identical) type.

Return value of the validate_nla() function can be propagated all the
way up to users of libbpf API. In case of error this libbpf version
of validate_nla returns -1 which will be seen as -EPERM from user's
point of view. Instead, return a more reasonable -EINVAL.

Avoid dereferencing bpf_map_skeleton's link field if it's NULL. If BPF map skeleton is created with the size, that indicates containing link field, but the field was not actually initialized with valid bpf_link pointer, libbpf crashes. This may happen when using libbpf-rs skeleton. Skeleton loading may still progress, but user needs to attach struct_ops map separately.
