Some BPF programs compiled on s390 fail to load, because s390
arch-specific linux headers contain float and double types.

Fix as follows:

- Make the DWARF loader fill base_type.float_type.

- Introduce the --btf_gen_floats command-line parameter, so that
  pahole could be used to build both the older and the newer kernels.

- libbpf introduced the support for the floating-point types in commit
  986962fade5, so update the libbpf submodule to that version and use
  the new btf__add_float() function in order to emit the floating-point
  types when not in the compatibility mode.

- Make the BTF loader recognize the new BTF kind.

Example of the resulting entry in the vmlinux BTF:

    [7164] FLOAT 'double' size=8

when building with:

    LLVM_OBJCOPY=${OBJCOPY} ${PAHOLE} -J ${1} --btf_gen_floats

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/dwarves/20210306022203.152930-1-iii@linux.ibm.com/
v1 -> v2: Introduce libbpf compatibility level command-line parameter.
          The code should now work for both bpf-next/master and
          v5.12-rc2.

v2: https://lore.kernel.org/dwarves/20210308235913.162038-1-iii@linux.ibm.com/
v2 -> v3: Use the feature flag (--encode_btf_kind_float) instead of the
          libbpf version flag.

v3: https://lore.kernel.org/dwarves/20210310141517.169698-1-iii@linux.ibm.com/
v3 -> v4: Rename the flag to --btf_gen_floats.
