Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v4 1/3] libbpf: Introduce 'btf_custom_path' to 'bpf_obj_open_opts'

btf_custom_path allows developers to load custom BTF, and subsequent 
CO-RE will use custom BTF for relocation.

Learn from Andrii's comments in [0], add the btf_custom_path parameter
to bpf_obj_open_opts, you can directly use the skeleton's
<objname>_bpf__open_opts function to pass in the btf_custom_path
parameter.

Prior to this, there was also a developer who provided a patch with
similar functions. It is a pity that the follow-up did not continue to
advance. See [1].
