When writing symtypes information, we iterate through the entire hash
table containing type expansions. The key order varies unpredictably
as new entries are added, making it harder to compare symtypes between
builds.
Resolve this by sorting the type expansions by name before output.

The preferred form is to use the variable being allocated to, rather
than explicitly supplying a type name which might become stale.
Also do this for memset.

As we always iterate through the entire die_map when expanding
type strings, recursively processing referenced types in
type_expand_child() is not actually necessary. Furthermore,
the type_string kABI rule added in commit c9083467f7
("gendwarfksyms: Add a kABI rule to override type strings") can
fail to override type strings for structures due to a missing
kabi_get_type_string() check in this function.
Fix the issue by dropping the unnecessary recursion and moving
the override check to type_expand(). Note that symbol versions
are otherwise unchanged with this patch.

In rare situations where distributions must make significant
changes to otherwise opaque data structures that have
inadvertently been included in the published ABI, keeping
symbol versions stable using the existing kABI macros can
become tedious.
For example, Android decided to switch to a newer io_uring
implementation in the 5.10 GKI kernel "to resolve a huge number
of potential, and known, problems with the codebase," requiring
"horrible hacks" with genksyms:
"A number of the io_uring structures get used in other core
kernel structures, only as "opaque" pointers, so there is
not any real ABI breakage. But, due to the visibility of
the structures going away, the CRC values of many scheduler
variables and functions were changed."

While these specific changes probably could have been hidden
from gendwarfksyms using the existing kABI macros, this may not
always be the case.
Add a last resort kABI rule that allows distribution
maintainers to fully override a type string for a symbol or a
type. Also add a more informative error message in case we find
a non-existent type references when calculating versions.

Add support for producing genksyms-style symtypes files. Process
die_map to find the longest expansions for each type, and use symtypes
references in type definitions. The basic file format is similar to
genksyms, with two notable exceptions:
1. Type names with spaces (common with Rust) in references are
wrapped in single quotes. E.g.:
s#'core::result::Result<u8, core::num::error::ParseIntError>'
2. The actual type definition is the simple parsed DWARF format we
output with --dump-dies, not the preprocessed C-style format
genksyms produces.
