Merge branch 'strip-mods-from-global-vars'

Andrii Nakryiko says:

====================
Fix bpftool logic of stripping away const/volatile modifiers for all global
variables during BPF skeleton generation. See patch #1 for details on when
existing logic breaks and why it's important. Support special .strip_mods=true
mode in btf_dump__emit_type_decl.

Recent example of when this has caused problems can be found in [0].
