Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v2 1/3] bpftool: Add libbpf's version number to "bpftool version" output

To help users check what version of libbpf is being used with bpftool,
print the number along with bpftool's own version number.

Output:

    $ ./bpftool version
    ./bpftool v5.16.0
    using libbpf v0.7
    features: libbfd, libbpf_strict, skeletons

    $ ./bpftool version --json --pretty
    {
        "version": "5.16.0",
        "libbpf_version": "0.7",
        "features": {
            "libbfd": true,
            "libbpf_strict": true,
            "skeletons": true
        }
    }

Note that libbpf_version_string() does note return the patch number.
