maint: make inter-release --version output more useful
Now, each snapshot has a version "number" like 4.6-131-219-gda920ee,
which indicates that it is built using the 131st change set
(in _some_ repository) following the "v4.6" tag, and that da920ee
is a prefix of the commit SHA1.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add git-version-gen.
* build-aux/.gitigore (/git-version-gen): Add entry.
* configure.ac: Run it to set the version from .tarball-version.
* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add git-version-gen.
(dist-hook): Create .tarball-version in distribution tarballs,
never in a checked-out repository.
(AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Change from 'gnits' to 'gnu std-options readme-alpha'.
* .gitignore (.tarball-version): Add entry.
* doc/find-maint.texi (Making Releases): Adjust: tag before the build,
changed handling in NEWS, etc.
* NEWS (Changes to the build process): Document the change.
