Automatic date updated in version.in.

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

The build date in bfd/version.h was automatically updated from 20260504 to 20260505. This change is part of the regular maintenance of the BFD library and ensures the version information is current.

In Details

BFD (Binary File Descriptor) is binutils' abstraction for object-file formats. The version date in bfd/version.h is updated. This is a routine change.

For Context

The Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library is part of GNU binutils, providing a uniform interface to manipulate different object file formats (e.g., ELF, PE, COFF). It abstracts the details of each format, allowing tools like linkers and debuggers to work with a variety of architectures and operating systems using a single API. The version.h file contains the library's version information, including a build date. This commit updates that date.
