ksym is 16 bytes anyways, union doesn't help to save space. I propose
to encode all this with just two fields: vmlinux_btf_id and addr. If
btf_id == 0, then extern is typeless.

On the second read, I don't think you really need `has_typed_ksyms` at
all. Just iterate over ksym externs and see if you have a typed one.
It's the only place that cares.

nit: keep it simple:

  obj->has_typed_ksyms = true;

It's a bit of a waste that we still allocate memory for those typed
ksym externs, as they don't really need space. But modifying BTF is a
pain right now, so I think we'll have to do it, until we have a better
BTF API. But let's make them integers for now to take a fixed and
small amount of space.

It might still be a good idea to try to find the symbol in kallsyms
and emit nicer message if it's not there. Think about the user's
experience when some global variable is removed from the kernel (or
compiled out due to missing Kconfig). If libbpf can easily detect
this, we should do it and provide a good error message.

I use targ_ and local_ prefixes with CO-RE to distinguish something
that's coming from BPF object's BTF vs kernel's BTF, can you please
adopt the same, as the process is essentially the same. "vx" vs "vtx"
vs "v" are hard to distinguish and understand.

that's one check)

this is a bug if that happens, that should be caught by test, please
remove unnecessary check

yeah, definitely just use bpf_core_types_are_compat() here. You'll
want to skip_mods_and_typedefs first, but everything else should work
for your use case.
