kbuild: Fix changing ELF file type for output of gen_btf for big endian

Commit 90ceddc ("bpf: Support llvm-objcopy for vmlinux BTF")
changed the ELF type of .btf.vmlinux.bin.o to ET_REL via dd, which works
fine for little endian platforms:

   00000000  7f 45 4c 46 02 01 01 00  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  |.ELF............|
  -00000010  03 00 b7 00 01 00 00 00  00 00 00 80 00 80 ff ff  |................|
  +00000010  01 00 b7 00 01 00 00 00  00 00 00 80 00 80 ff ff  |................|

However, for big endian platforms, it changes the wrong byte, resulting
in an invalid ELF file type, which ld.lld rejects:

   00000000  7f 45 4c 46 02 02 01 00  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  |.ELF............|
  -00000010  00 03 00 16 00 00 00 01  00 00 00 00 00 10 00 00  |................|
  +00000010  01 03 00 16 00 00 00 01  00 00 00 00 00 10 00 00  |................|

  Type:                              <unknown>: 103

  ld.lld: error: .btf.vmlinux.bin.o: unknown file type

Fix this by updating the entire 16-bit e_type field rather than just a
single byte, so that everything works correctly for all platforms and
linkers.

   00000000  7f 45 4c 46 02 02 01 00  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  |.ELF............|
  -00000010  00 03 00 16 00 00 00 01  00 00 00 00 00 10 00 00  |................|
  +00000010  00 01 00 16 00 00 00 01  00 00 00 00 00 10 00 00  |................|

  Type:                              REL (Relocatable file)

While in the area, update the comment to mention that binutils 2.35+
matches LLD's behavior of rejecting an ET_EXEC input, which occurred
after the comment was added.
