tools/bpf: implement libbpf btf__get_map_kv_tids() API function

Currently, to get map key/value type id's, the macro
  BPF_ANNOTATE_KV_PAIR(<map_name>, <key_type>, <value_type>)
needs to be defined in the bpf program for the
corresponding map.

During program/map loading time,
the local static function bpf_map_find_btf_info()
in libbpf.c is implemented to retrieve the key/value
type ids given the map name.

The patch refactored function bpf_map_find_btf_info()
to create an API btf__get_map_kv_tids() which includes
the bulk of implementation for the original function.
The API btf__get_map_kv_tids() can be used by bcc,
a JIT based bpf compilation system, which uses the
same BPF_ANNOTATE_KV_PAIR to record map key/value types.
