[PATCH] bpf: Hoise pahole version checks into Kconfig

[Nathan Chancellor <natechancellor@gmail.com>]

After commit da5fb18225b4 ("bpf: Support pre-2.25-binutils objcopy for
vmlinux BTF"), having CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF enabled but lacking a valid
copy of pahole results in a kernel that will fully compile but fail to
link. The user then has to either install pahole or disable
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF and rebuild the kernel but only after their build
has failed, which could have been a significant amount of time depending
on the hardware.

Avoid a poor user experience and require pahole to be installed with an
appropriate version to select and use CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF, which is
standard for options that require a specific tools version.
