setup.py: Use setuptools_scm plugin

This plugin automatically encodes git versioning information
into the package version string so that it shows up in `bst --version`

This versioning information is encoded into source distributions
as well, so that when installing from a source distribution without
the git repository the precise VCS provenance is still encoded into
the version.
