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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
