bpftool: btf: Support dumping a specific types from file

Some projects, for example xdp-tools [0], prefer to check in a minimized
vmlinux.h rather than the complete file which can get rather large.

However, when you try to add a minimized version of a complex struct (eg
struct xfrm_state), things can get quite complex if you're trying to
manually untangle and deduplicate the dependencies.

This commit teaches bpftool to do a minimized dump of a specific types by
providing a optional root_id argument(s).

Example usage:

    $ ./bpftool btf dump file ~/dev/linux/vmlinux | rg "STRUCT 'xfrm_state'"
    [12643] STRUCT 'xfrm_state' size=912 vlen=58

    $ ./bpftool btf dump file ~/dev/linux/vmlinux root_id 12643 format c
    #ifndef __VMLINUX_H__
    #define __VMLINUX_H__

    [..]

    struct xfrm_type_offload;

    struct xfrm_sec_ctx;

    struct xfrm_state {
            possible_net_t xs_net;
            union {
                    struct hlist_node gclist;
                    struct hlist_node bydst;
            };
            union {
                    struct hlist_node dev_gclist;
                    struct hlist_node bysrc;
            };
            struct hlist_node byspi;

to avoid sorting the output.
**root_id** option can be used to filter a dump to a single type and all
its dependent types. It cannot be used with any other types of filtering
(such as the "key", "value", or "kv" arguments when dumping BTF for a map).
It can be passed multiple times to dump multiple types.
