Update date in version.in.

The build date in bfd/version.h was updated.

The build date in bfd/version.h was updated from 20260429 to 20260430. This change is part of an automated update process.

In Details

The build date in bfd/version.h is updated. This file defines the version number and date for the BFD library. While seemingly trivial, an incorrect date might confuse build systems or downstream consumers. This commit ensures the date is current.

For Context

The Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library is part of the GNU binutils. It provides a generic interface for dealing with different object file formats (e.g., ELF, COFF, PE). This commit updates the build date in the bfd/version.h file, part of the BFD library's version information. This date is used to track the build and release of the library itself.
