tools/getdelays: add backward compatibility for taskstats version

Add version checks to print_delayacct() to handle differences in struct
taskstats across kernel versions.  Field availability depends on taskstats
version (t->version), corresponding to TASKSTATS_VERSION in kernel headers
(see include/uapi/linux/taskstats.h).

Version feature mapping:
- version >= 11  - supports COMPACT statistics
- version >= 13  - supports WPCOPY statistics
- version >= 14  - supports IRQ statistics
- version >= 16  - supports *_max and *_min delay statistics

This ensures the tool works correctly with both older and newer kernel
versions by conditionally printing fields based on the reported version.

eg.1
bash# grep -r "#define TASKSTATS_VERSION" /usr/include/linux/taskstats.h
"#define TASKSTATS_VERSION       10"
bash# ./getdelays -d -p 1
