Re: [PATCH bpf-next v2 2/5] libbpf: rename btf__get_from_id() as btf__load_from_kernel_by_id()

Rename function btf__get_from_id() as btf__load_from_kernel_by_id() to
better indicate what the function does. Change the new function so that,
instead of requiring a pointer to the pointer to update and returning
with an error code, it takes a single argument (the id of the BTF
object) and returns the corresponding pointer. This is more in line with
the existing constructors.

The other tools calling the deprecated btf__get_from_id() function will
be updated in a future commit.

v2:
- Instead of a simple renaming, change the new function to make it
  return the pointer to the btf struct.
- API v0.5.0 instead of v0.6.0.
We generally keep such version changes to cover letters. It keeps each
individual commit clean and collects full history in the cover letter
which becomes a body of merge commit when the whole patch set is
applied. For next revision please consolidate the history in the cover
letter. Thanks!

let's move this definition to after btf__parse() to keep all
"constructors" together (we can move btf__get_from_id() there for
completeness as well, I suppose).

there seems to be a bug in existing code and you are keeping it. On
error err will be 0. Let's fix it. Same for above if (!info->btf_id),
please fix that as well while you are at it.
