Currently we don't care about array element type at all. It seems
highly unlikely that we'll use array element type as some sort of
flag, as it would be **way** to much unobvious magic. I'm a bit
worried that there could be some inconsistencies in how compiler emits
or omits SIGNED flag on BTF_KIND_INT, so I'd rather minimize amount of
possible confusion here and not enforce that.
As for __uint vs __int, you are right, the value we can encode is
always unsigned, so it might be a good idea to do __uint instead, I'll
post an updated version.
