libbpf: Add some details for BTF parsing failures
As CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF is default off the existing "failed to find
valid kernel BTF" message makes diagnosing the kernel build issue somewhat
cryptic. Add a little more detail with the hope of helping users.
Before:
```
libbpf: failed to find valid kernel BTF
libbpf: Error loading vmlinux BTF: -3
```
After not accessible:
```
libbpf: kernel BTF is missing at '/sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux', was CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF enabled?
libbpf: failed to find valid kernel BTF
libbpf: Error loading vmlinux BTF: -3
```
After not readable:
```
libbpf: failed to read kernel BTF from (/sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux): -1
```
