libbpf: support "module: Function" syntax for tracing programs

In some situations, it is useful to explicitly specify a kernel module
to search for a tracing program target (e.g. when a function of the same
name exists in multiple modules or in vmlinux).

This patch enables that by allowing the "module:function" syntax for the
find_kernel_btf_id function. Thanks to this, the syntax can be used both
from a SEC macro (i.e. `SEC(fentry/module:function)`) and via the
bpf_program__set_attach_target API call.
