Add the running kernel's build ID[1] to the stacktrace information header.
This makes it simpler for developers to locate the vmlinux with full
debuginfo for a particular kernel stacktrace. Combined with
scripts/decode_stracktrace.sh, a developer can download the correct
vmlinux from a debuginfod[2] server and find the exact file and line
number for the functions plus offsets in a stacktrace.
This is especially useful for pstore crash debugging where the kernel
crashes are recorded in the pstore logs and the recovery kernel is
different or the debuginfo doesn't exist on the device due to space
concerns (the data can be large and a security concern). The stacktrace
can be analyzed after the crash by using the build ID to find the matching
vmlinux and understand where in the function something went wrong.
Example stacktrace from lkdtm:
WARNING: CPU: 4 PID: 3255 at drivers/misc/lkdtm/bugs.c:83 lkdtm_WARNING+0x28/0x30 [lkdtm]
Modules linked in: lkdtm rfcomm algif_hash algif_skcipher af_alg xt_cgroup uinput xt_MASQUERADE
CPU: 4 PID: 3255 Comm: bash Not tainted 5.11 #3 aa23f7a1231c229de205662d5a9e0d4c580f19a1
Hardware name: Google Lazor (rev3+) with KB Backlight (DT)
pstate: 00400009 (nzcv daif +PAN -UAO -TCO BTYPE=--)
pc : lkdtm_WARNING+0x28/0x30 [lkdtm]
The hex string aa23f7a1231c229de205662d5a9e0d4c580f19a1 is the build ID,
following the kernel version number. Put it all behind a config option,
STACKTRACE_BUILD_ID, so that kernel developers can remove this
information if they decide it is too much.

It's possible to have other build id types (other than default SHA1).
Currently there's also ld support for MD5 build id.
Adding size argument to build_id_parse function, that returns (if defined)
size of the parsed build id, so we can recognize the build id type.

Moving stack_map_get_build_id into lib with
declaration in linux/buildid.h header:
int build_id_parse(struct vm_area_struct *vma, unsigned char *build_id);
This function returns build id for given struct vm_area_struct.
There is no functional change to stack_map_get_build_id function.
