libbpf: Fix no-args func prototype BTF dumping syntax
[ Upstream commit 189f1a976e426011e6a5588f1d3ceedf71fe2965 ] For all these years libbpf's BTF dumper has been emitting not strictly valid syntax for function prototypes that have no input arguments. Instead of `int (*blah)()` we should emit `int (*blah)(void)`. This is not normally a problem, but it manifests when we get kfuncs in vmlinux.h that have no input arguments. Due to compiler internal specifics, we get no BTF information for such kfuncs, if they are not declared with proper `(void)`. The fix is trivial. We also need to adjust a few ancient tests that happily assumed `()` is correct.
