    PR30858: improve diagnostics for pass-4 build failures in lkm mode

    Kernel versions often drift beyond the range against which systemtap
    has been tested.  Since there is no persistent kernel API, stap
    runtime can break with new major releases.  Improve the pass-4 error
    message, so that the tested kernel range is printed:

    [....]
    WARNING: kbuild exited with status: 2
    Pass 4: compilation failed.  [man error::pass4]
    Kernel version 6.3.12 is within tested range 2.6.32 ... 6.5

    The message advises "within" or "outside" as per strverscmp.
