Before, if a tracepoint argument was accessed, bpftrace would prefer using headers instead of BTF. This causes some friction for users/hosts that don't have headers installed. They would have to pass in --btf to override the default headers behavior. This commit makes BTF the default if it's available. Now, users don't need to pass in --btf.
