This is v4 of the series aiming to speed up parallel reproducible BTF
encoding. This version mostly addresses feedback from Jiri Olsa on v3.

A notable adition is a patch 10/10, which changes func_states in
btf_encoder from a list to an array.

Testing:

    vmlinux=/home/theihor/kernels/bpf-next/kbuild-output/.tmp_vmlinux1 PATH=$(realpath build):$PATH ./tests/tests
      1: Validation of BTF encoding of functions; this may take some time: Ok
      2: Default BTF on a system without BTF: Ok
      3: Flexible arrays accounting: pahole: type 'nft_pipapo_elem' not found
    pahole: type 'tls_rec' not found
    pahole: type 'fuse_direntplus' not found
    pahole: type 'nft_rhash_elem' not found
    pahole: type 'nft_hash_elem' not found
    pahole: type 'nft_bitmap_elem' not found
    pahole: type 'ipt_standard' not found
    pahole: type 'nft_rule_dp_last' not found
    pahole: type 'ip6t_standard' not found
    pahole: type 'ipt_error' not found
    pahole: type 'ip6t_error' not found
    pahole: type 'nft_rbtree_elem' not found
    Ok
      4: Check that pfunct can print btf_decl_tags read from BTF: Ok
      5: Pretty printing of files using DWARF type information: Ok
      6: Parallel reproducible DWARF Loading/Serial BTF encoding: Ok

The warnings about not found types are also present at pahole/next, so
not related to this patchset.
