I wonder if we should display some indication ("libbpf_strict"?) in
the output of "bpftool version", alongside "libbfd" and "skeleton"?
It's not strictly a feature (and would always be present for newer
versions), but it could help to check how a bpftool binary will
behave? (I don't mind taking it as a follow-up.)
