Implement iterator-based type ID and string offset BTF field iterator. This is used extensively in BTF-handling code and BPF linker code for various sanity checks, rewriting IDs/offsets, etc. Currently this is implemented as visitor pattern calling custom callbacks, which makes the logic (especially in simple cases) unnecessarily obscure and harder to follow. Having equivalent functionality using iterator pattern makes for simpler to understand and maintain code. As we add more code for BTF processing logic in libbpf, it's best to switch to iterator pattern before adding more callback-based code. The idea for iterator-based implementation is to record offsets of necessary fields within fixed btf_type parts (which should be iterated just once), and, for kinds that have multiple members (based on vlen field), record where in each member necessary fields are located. Generic iteration code then just keeps track of last offset that was returned and handles N members correctly. Return type is just u32 pointer, where NULL is returned when all relevant fields were already iterated.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
