[PATCH] Dump map id instead of value for map_of_maps types

From: Xueming Feng
Date: Fri Apr 21 2023 - 06:23:03 EST


When using `bpftool map dump` in plain format, it is usually
more convenient to show the inner map id instead of raw value.
Changing this behavior would help with quick debugging with
`bpftool`, without disruption scripted behavior. Since user
could dump the inner map with id, but need to convert value.
