When we are included as a subproject, such as how git.git carries
us, we want to retain our own version number and not the version
number assigned by git.git's own tags. Consequently we need to
locate the correct tag which applies to our tree content and
its commit lineage.

I've decided to use gitgui-0.5 as the format for tags in the
git-gui repository. The prefix of gitgui was chosen here to
make its namespace different from the namespace used by git
itself, allowing developers to pull both tag namespaces into
the same repository.

Now that the decision has been made to treat git-gui as a
subproject, rather than merging it directly into git, we
should use a different substitution for our version value
to avoid any possible confusion.

I'm stealing the exact logic used by core Git within its own Makefile to
setup the version number within scripts and executables. This way we
can be sure that the version number is always updated after a commit,
and that the version number also reflects when it is coming from a dirty
working directory (and is thus pretty worthless).
I've cleaned up some of the version display code in the about dialog too.
There were simply too many blank lines in the bottom section where we
showed the version data.
