Subject: [PATCH v2 bpf-next 4/5] libbpf: add BPF-side definitions of supported field relocation kinds

Add enum definition for Clang's __builtin_preserve_field_info()
second argument (info_kind). Currently only byte offset and existence
are supported. Corresponding Clang changes introducing this built-in can
be found at [0]
