This change facilitates out-of-tree builds, packaging, and versioning for test and debug purposes. Defining BPFTOOL_VERSION allows self-contained builds within the tools tree, since it avoids use of the 'kernelversion' target in the top-level makefile, which would otherwise pull in several other includes from outside the tools tree.
