    Make it possible to build bpftool without libbfd. libbfd and libopcodes are
    typically provided in dev/dbg packages (binutils-dev in debian) which we
    usually don't have installed on the fleet machines and we'd like a way to have
    bpftool version that works without installing any additional packages.
    This excludes support for disassembling jit-ted code and prints an error if
    the user tries to use these features.
    
    Tested by:
    cat > FEATURES_DUMP.bpftool <<EOF
    feature-libbfd=0
    feature-disassembler-four-args=1
    feature-reallocarray=0
    feature-libelf=1
    feature-libelf-mmap=1
    feature-bpf=1
    EOF
    FEATURES_DUMP=$PWD/FEATURES_DUMP.bpftool make
    ldd bpftool | grep libbfd
