The feature test for system bpftool uses BPFTOOL as the variable to set
its path, defaulting to just "bpftool" if not set by the user.
This conflicts with selftests and a few other utilities, which expect
BPFTOOL to be set to the in-tree bpftool path by default. For example,
bpftool selftests fail to build:
$ make -C tools/testing/selftests/bpf/
make: Entering directory '/home/tglozar/dev/linux/tools/testing/selftests/bpf'
make: *** No rule to make target 'bpftool', needed by '/home/tglozar/dev/linux/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/tools/include/vmlinux.h'. Stop.
make: Leaving directory '/home/tglozar/dev/linux/tools/testing/selftests/bpf'
Fix the problem by renaming the variable used for system bpftool from
BPFTOOL to SYSTEM_BPFTOOL, so that the new usage does not conflict with
the existing one of BPFTOOL.
