bpftool: Add "bootstrap" feature to version output

Browse source

Along with the version number, "bpftool version" displays a list of
features that were selected at compilation time for bpftool. It would be
useful to indicate in that list whether a binary is a bootstrap version
of bpftool. Given that an increasing number of components rely on
bootstrap versions for generating skeletons, this could help understand
what a binary is capable of if it has been copied outside of the usual
"bootstrap" directory.

To detect a bootstrap version, we simply rely on the absence of
implementation for the do_prog() function. To do this, we must move the
(unchanged) list of commands before do_version(), which in turn requires
renaming this "cmds" array to avoid shadowing it with the "cmds"
argument in cmd_select().
