libbpf: Deprecate btf_ext rec_size APIs

btf_ext__{func,line}_info_rec_size functions are used in conjunction
with already-deprecated btf_ext__reloc_{func,line}_info functions. Since
struct btf_ext is opaque to the user it was necessary to expose rec_size
getters in the past.

btf_ext__reloc_{func,line}_info were deprecated in commit 8505e8709b5ee
("libbpf: Implement generalized .BTF.ext func/line info adjustment")
as they're not compatible with support for multiple programs per
section. It was decided[0] that users of these APIs should implement their
own .btf.ext parsing to access this data, in which case the rec_size
getters are unnecessary. So deprecate them from libbpf 0.7.0 onwards.
