[PATCH bpf-next v4 0/3] Normalize enum values in libbpf and bpftool

[Hungyu Lin <dennylin0707@gmail.com>]

This series fixes enum signedness in libbpf and bpftool data dumps
using the shared btf_enum_value() helper suggested by Alexei. It also
uses the helper for enum-backed map fields, where sign extension can
change the requested map_extra value.

Ordinary enums are interpreted according to kflag. When kflag is
clear, values are treated as unsigned, including BTF from producers
that did not record signedness.

The helper returns __u64, consistent with btf_enum64_value(). bpftool
casts to __s64 at signed numeric output. CO-RE relocation handling is
left for a separate change.

Changes in v4:
- Return __u64 from btf_enum_value(), as requested by Andrii.
- Rely on kflag for name matching; remove legacy comparisons and
  bpftool's cached match and priority logic, as requested by Andrii.
- Remove the legacy and ambiguous narrow-alias test cases. Keep signed
  controls, unsigned names, numeric output and width-boundary coverage.
- Add an open-only skeleton test for the map_extra parser.
- Drop four libbpf numeric-fallback cases that do not exercise this change.
- Rebase onto bpf-next commit 3e1821848412.

Tested on arm64 (Linux 6.12.68, GCC 13.3, Clang 18.1). libbpf and
bpftool build with -Werror. Without patches 1 and 2, 9 of the 18 new
subtests in btf_dump, bpftool_map_dump and map_extra fail. With the
series, all 18 pass; the 23 existing subtests pass in both cases.
