So, the btf__new() in tools/lib/bpf/btf.c is basically a variant of
btf__new() in the pahole sources, probably we should go ahead and make
pahole use that btf__new() and do changes in tools/lib/bpf/btf.c to
allow for it to access internal state that it needs to do its job?

I'm tinkering a bit with it.
