[BPF] add proper multi-dimensional array support
For multi-dimensional array like below int a[2][3]; the previous implementation generates BTF_KIND_ARRAY type like below: . element_type: int . index_type: unsigned int . number of elements: 6 This is not the best way to represent arrays, esp., when converting BTF back to headers and users will see int a[6]; instead. This patch generates proper support for multi-dimensional arrays. For "int a[2][3]", the two BTF_KIND_ARRAY types will be generated: Type #n: . element_type: int . index_type: unsigned int . number of elements: 3 Type #(n+1): . element_type: #n . index_type: unsigned int . number of elements: 2 The linux kernel already supports such a multi-dimensional array representation properly.
