Quentin Monnet b623181520 bpftool: Update doc (use susbtitutions) and test_bpftool_synctypes.py 
test_bpftool_synctypes.py helps detecting inconsistencies in bpftool
between the different list of types and options scattered in the
sources, the documentation, and the bash completion. For options that
apply to all bpftool commands, the script had a hardcoded list of
values, and would use them to check whether the man pages are
up-to-date. When writing the script, it felt acceptable to have this
list in order to avoid to open and parse bpftool's main.h every time,
and because the list of global options in bpftool doesn't change so
often.

However, this is prone to omissions, and we recently added a new
-l|--legacy option which was described in common_options.rst, but not
listed in the options summary of each manual page. The script did not
complain, because it keeps comparing the hardcoded list to the (now)
outdated list in the header file.

To address the issue, this commit brings the following changes:

- Options that are common to all bpftool commands (--json, --pretty, and
  --debug) are moved to a dedicated file, and used in the definition of
  a RST substitution. This substitution is used in the sources of all
  the man pages.

- This list of common options is updated, with the addition of the new
  -l|--legacy option.

- The script test_bpftool_synctypes.py is updated to compare:
    - Options specific to a command, found in C files, for the
      interactive help messages, with the same specific options from the
      relevant man page for that command.
    - Common options, checked just once: the list in main.h is
      compared with the new list in substitutions.rst.

SYNOPSIS
========
**bpftool** [*OPTIONS*] **btf** *COMMAND*
*OPTIONS* := { |COMMON_OPTIONS| | { **-B** | **--base-btf** } }
*COMMANDS* := { **dump** | **help** }
BTF COMMANDS
=============
| **bpftool** **btf** { **show** | **list** } [**id** *BTF_ID*]
| **bpftool** **btf dump** *BTF_SRC* [**format** *FORMAT*]
| **bpftool** **btf help**

| *FORMAT* := { **raw** | **c** }

| *PROG* := { **id** *PROG_ID* | **pinned** *FILE* | **tag** *PROG_TAG* }
DESCRIPTION
===========
**bpftool btf { show | list }** [**id** *BTF_ID*]
Show information about loaded BTF objects. If a BTF ID is
specified, show information only about given BTF object,
otherwise list all BTF objects currently loaded on the
system.
Since Linux 5.8 bpftool is able to discover information about
processes that hold open file descriptors (FDs) against BTF
objects. On such kernels bpftool will automatically emit this
information as well.
**bpftool btf dump** *BTF_SRC*
Dump BTF entries from a given *BTF_SRC*.
When **id** is specified, BTF object with that ID will be
loaded and all its BTF types emitted.
When **map** is provided, it's expected that map has
associated BTF object with BTF types describing key and
value. It's possible to select whether to dump only BTF
type(s) associated with key (**key**), value (**value**),
both key and value (**kv**), or all BTF types present in
associated BTF object (**all**). If not specified, **kv**
is assumed.
When **prog** is provided, it's expected that program has
associated BTF object with BTF types.
When specifying *FILE*, an ELF file is expected, containing
.BTF section with well-defined BTF binary format data,
typically produced by clang or pahole.
**format** option can be used to override default (raw)
output format. Raw (**raw**) or C-syntax (**c**) output
formats are supported.
**bpftool btf help**
Print short help message.
OPTIONS
=======
.. include:: common_options.rst
-B, --base-btf *FILE*
Pass a base BTF object. Base BTF objects are typically used
with BTF objects for kernel modules. To avoid duplicating
all kernel symbols required by modules, BTF objects for
modules are "split", they are built incrementally on top of
the kernel (vmlinux) BTF object. So the base BTF reference
should usually point to the kernel BTF.
When the main BTF object to process (for example, the
module BTF to dump) is passed as a *FILE*, bpftool attempts
to autodetect the path for the base object, and passing
this option is optional. When the main BTF object is passed
through other handles, this option becomes necessary.
EXAMPLES
========
**# bpftool btf dump id 1226**
::
[1] PTR '(anon)' type_id=2
[2] STRUCT 'dummy_tracepoint_args' size=16 vlen=2
'pad' type_id=3 bits_offset=0

[3] INT 'long long unsigned int' size=8 bits_offset=0 nr_bits=64 encoding=(none)
[4] PTR '(anon)' type_id=5
[5] FWD 'sock' fwd_kind=union
This gives an example of default output for all supported BTF kinds.
