What is the reason for this update? Can we still use the old version?

Nothing prevents from using the old version, I just used this chance
to bump the version.

I talked with Dodji, 2.0 is the version used in Fedora for ABI checks.
This version comes with enhancements and at least a fix for a bug we
got when writing exception rules in dpdk:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28060

I ran more checks with 2.0 and unfortunately, I get an issue with dpdk
on Fedora 35 libabigail.
2.0 built in Ubuntu does not seem affected, but I prefer to be safe,
stick to 1.8 version and wait for Dodji to have a look.

v2 on the way.
