The hash_combine() could be trapped when compiled with sanitizer like "zig cc"
or clang with signed-integer-overflow option. This patch parameters and return
type to unsigned long to remove the potential overflow.

<title>libbpf: Support BTF.ext loading and output in either endianness</title>

<content type='text'>
Support for handling BTF data of either endianness was added in [1], but
did not include BTF.ext data for lack of use cases. Later, support for
static linking [2] provided a use case, but this feature and later ones
were restricted to native-endian usage.

Add support for BTF.ext handling in either endianness. Convert BTF.ext data
to native endianness when read into memory for further processing, and
support raw data access that restores the original byte-order for output.
Add internal header functions for byte-swapping func, line, and core info
records.

Add new API functions btf_ext__endianness() and btf_ext__set_endianness()
for query and setting byte-order, as already exist for BTF data.

New split BTF needs to preserve base's endianness. Similarly, when
creating a distilled BTF, we need to preserve original endianness.

Fix by updating libbpf's btf__distill_base() and btf_new_empty() to retain
the byte order of any source BTF objects when creating new ones.

<title>libbpf: Skip base btf sanity checks</title>

When upgrading to libbpf 1.3 we noticed a big performance hit while
loading programs using CORE on non base-BTF symbols. This was tracked
down to the new BTF sanity check logic. The issue is the base BTF
definitions are checked first for the base BTF and then again for every
module BTF.

Loading 5 dummy programs (using libbpf-rs) that are using CORE on a
non-base BTF symbol on my system:
- Before this fix: 3s.
- With this fix: 0.1s.

Fix this by only checking the types starting at the BTF start id. This
should ensure the base BTF is still checked as expected but only once
(btf-&gt;start_id == 1 when creating the base BTF), and then only
additional types are checked for each module BTF.
