bpf: allow for key-less BTF in array map
Given we'll be reusing BPF array maps for global data/bss/rodata sections, we need a way to associate BTF DataSec type as its map value type. In usual cases we have this ugly BPF_ANNOTATE_KV_PAIR() macro hack e.g. via 38d5d3b3d5db ("bpf: Introduce BPF_ANNOTATE_KV_PAIR") to get initial map to type association going. While more use cases for it are discouraged, this also won't work for global data since the use of array map is a BPF loader detail and therefore unknown at compilation time. For array maps with just a single entry we make an exception in terms of BTF in that key type is declared optional if value type is of DataSec type. The latter LLVM is guaranteed to emit and it also aligns with how we regard global data maps as just a plain buffer area reusing existing map facilities for allowing things like introspection with existing tools.
