[PATCH v2 bpf-next] bpf: add btf_type_is_i{32,64} helpers

[Anton Protopopov]

There are places in BPF code which check if a BTF type is an integer
of particular size. This code can be made simpler by using helpers.
Add new btf_type_is_i{32,64} helpers, and simplify code in a few
files. (Suggested by Eduard for a patch which copy-pasted such a
check [1].)

  v1 -> v2:
    * export less generic helpers (Eduard)
    * make subject less generic than in [v1] (Eduard)
