Add a new API function btf__load_from_kernel_by_id_split(), which takes
a pointer to a base BTF object in order to support split BTF objects
when retrieving BTF information from the kernel.

here all those struct btf pointers are even more confusing, let's
return the resulting struct btf * as a direct result value
