Latest upstream llvm-project added support for btf_decl_tag attributes
for typedef declarations ([1], [2]). Similar to other btf_decl_tag cases,
func/func_param/global_var/struct/union/field, btf_decl_tag with typedef
declaration can carry information from kernel source to clang compiler
and then to dwarf/BTF, for bpf verification or other use cases.

This patch set added kernel support for BTF_KIND_DECL_TAG to typedef
declaration (Patch 1). Additional selftests are added to cover
unit testing, dedup, or bpf program usage of btf_decl_tag with typedef.
(Patches 2, 3 and 4). The btf documentation is updated to include
BTF_KIND_DECL_TAG typedef (Patch 5).
