pahole v1.21 will support the --btf_gen_floats flag, which makes it
generate the information about the floating-point types.
Adjust link-vmlinux.sh to pass this flag to pahole in case it's
supported. Whether or not this flag is supported is determined by
probing, which is chosen over version check for two reasons:
1) at this moment --btf_gen_floats exists only in master, which
identifies itself as v1.20.
2) distros may backport features, making the version check too
conservative.
