libbpf: Improve btf__add_btf() with an additional hashmap for strings.

Add a hashmap to map the string offsets from a source btf to the
string offsets from a target btf to reduce overheads.

btf__add_btf() calls btf__add_str() to add strings from a source to a
target btf.  It causes many string comparisons, and it is a major
hotspot when adding a big btf.  btf__add_str() uses strcmp() to check
if a hash entry is the right one.  The extra hashmap here compares
offsets of strings, that are much cheaper.  It remembers the results
of btf__add_str() for later uses to reduce the cost.

We are parallelizing BTF encoding for pahole by creating separated btf
instances for worker threads.  These per-thread btf instances will be
added to the btf instance of the main thread by calling btf__add_str()
to deduplicate and write out.  With this patch and -j4, the running
time of pahole drops to about 6.0s from 6.6s.

V4 fixes a bug of error checking against the pointer returned by
hashmap__new().
