Updates date in version.in.

The build date in bfd/version.h has been automatically updated to May 11, 2026.

The BFD_VERSION_DATE macro in bfd/version.h was automatically updated to 20260511. This macro is used to track the build date of the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library. This change is part of the automated release process.

In Details

This commit modifies bfd/version.h to update BFD_VERSION_DATE. BFD's versioning scheme uses this date for internal bookkeeping, though it's not exposed in sonames for releases. The commit itself isn't interesting; it's automated. BFD is a core binutils library for object-file abstraction.

For Context

This commit updates the build date in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library. The BFD library is used by various tools in the binutils suite, such as the linker and disassembler, to read and write different object file formats. This change is part of an automated process and doesn't have a direct impact on users.
