We usually derive the version number for bpftool from libbpf's major and minor version numbers (see main.c), but this time we need a patch number update, to account for commit 3e1a35a ("mirror: add u128 to linux/types.h") before the 7.8 release. Set the version number to 7.8.1 in the Makefile; we'll revert it after the next kernel sync, when libbpf should have moved to its 1.9 release cycle, and to adjust bpftool's version number for the 7.9 release cyle.
