[PATCH bpf-next v4 01/12] libbpf: skip re-installing headers file if source is older than target

The "install_headers" target in libbpf's Makefile would unconditionally export all API headers to the target directory. When those headers are installed to compile another application, this means that make always finds newer dependencies for the source files relying on those headers, and deduces that the targets should be rebuilt. Avoid that by making "install_headers" depend on the source header files, and (re-)install them only when necessary.
