Add a new target to install the bpf.h header to $(prefix)/include/bpf/
directory. This is necessary to build standalone applications using
libbpf, without the need to clone the kernel sources and point to them.

v2:
- make the header installation similar to tools/lib/traceevent (Daniel).
The functional change is that the header will not be installed as part
of make install, one has to make install_headers, which seems OK.
Out of curiosity - why are only "force elfdep bpfdep" added to the PHONY
target? Is there some Makefile magic that makes adding install* targets
there unnecessary? Or does the PHONY target just not matter in practice
so it's not updated?
