Add --module-version to let callers identify a generated patch module using standard MODULE_VERSION metadata. Write it to the temporary module glue, where it survives diff extraction, and verify the final module's version. Leave builds without the option unchanged. Validate the value before using it in a C string. Document the option and add CLI regression tests to make check without requiring a kernel build or root access. Install gawk in CI for kpatch-build's existing dependency. The version is a caller-supplied identifier, not livepatch activation state or a symbol version CRC. No source repository or CI integration is assumed. Signed-off-by: Dmitry Malkin <dma@nebius.com>
