docs/bpf: Add description of .BTF.base section

Now that .BTF.base sections are generated for out-of-tree kernel
modules (provided pahole supports the "distilled_base" BTF feature),
document .BTF.base and its role in supporting resilient split BTF
and BTF relocation.

Changes since v1:

- updated formatting, corrected typo, used BTF ID[s] consistently
