hi,
when including btf.h in bpftrace, I'm getting -Wcast-qual warnings like:

  bpf/btf.h: In function ‘btf_var_secinfo* btf_var_secinfos(const btf_type*)’:
  bpf/btf.h:302:41: warning: cast from type ‘const btf_type*’ to type
  ‘btf_var_secinfo*’ casts away qualifiers [-Wcast-qual]
    302 |  return (struct btf_var_secinfo *)(t + 1);
        |                                         ^

I changed the btf.h header to comply with -Wcast-qual checks
and used const cast away casting in libbpf objects, where it's
all related to deduplication code, so I believe loosing const
is fine there.

thanks,
jirka
