Adding "distilled_base" to --btf_features when generating split BTF will create split and .BTF.base BTF - the latter allows us to map references from split BTF to base BTF, even if that base BTF has changed. It does this by providing just enough information about the base types in the .BTF.base section. See [1] for more. One note - with non-embedded libbpf, we need to guard against versions of libbpf (<1.5) which do not have btf__distill_base(); in such a case, silently skip distillation in line with other unrecognized BTF features.
