This series allows CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_DWARF5 to be selected with
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y by checking the pahole version.

The first four patches add CONFIG_PAHOLE_VERSION and
scripts/pahole-version.sh to clean up all the places that pahole's
version is transformed into a 3-digit form.

The fourth patch adds a PAHOLE_VERSION dependency to DEBUG_INFO_DWARF5
so that there are no build errors when it is selected with
DEBUG_INFO_BTF.

I build tested Fedora's aarch64 and x86_64 config with ToT clang 14.0.0
and GCC 11 with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_DWARF5 enabled with both pahole 1.21
and 1.23.

LGTM. I'd probably combine patches 2 and 3, but it's minor. I really
like the CONFIG_PAHOLE_VERSION and how much cleaner it makes Kconfig
options.

+1, thanks for working on getting this enabled! I think patches 2 and 3 are
rather logically separate, so as-is is fine as well imho. Applied, thanks!
