The hard-coded 16 is used in various bpf progs. These progs get task
comm either via bpf_get_current_comm() or prctl() or
bpf_core_read_str(), all of which can work well even if the task comm size
is changed.

In these BPF programs, one thing to be improved is the
sched:sched_switch tracepoint args. As the tracepoint args are derived
from the kernel, we'd better make it same with the kernel. So the macro
TASK_COMM_LEN is converted to type enum, then all the BPF programs can
get it through BTF.

The BPF program which wants to use TASK_COMM_LEN should include the header
vmlinux.h. Regarding the test_stacktrace_map and test_tracepoint, as the
type defined in linux/bpf.h are also defined in vmlinux.h, so we don't
need to include linux/bpf.h again.
