c65cc8cde3 build: fix release name strings for gitian builds
When building from a distdir as gitian does, checking for the .git dir
is not reliable. Instead, ask git if we're in a repo.

3d20cd5f61 VERSION obtained from source instead of the previous git tag.
Drawback: The version string is no longer a valid git identifier.
          For this reason the 'g' short hash prefix has been removed.

Exception: When building directly from a tag this behaves exactly like the previous behavior.
           This allows formatting release versions with precision     i.e. v0.9.2
           This also allows arbitrary topicbranch names               i.e. v0.9.1-glibc-compat

2df5e3427c Fix build time when building from tarball (now really)
Don't define BUILD_DATE at all when no git version information
is available. `version.cpp` will then define it for us correctly
to the last commit date.

This has been fixed and broken many times over 0.9 history
(21cc8bd, ef1e984), please don't touch this code unless you plan
on testing all possible scenarios including gitian builds.

Fixes #3570.

ef1e984ead Provide build time when building from tarball:
When building from tarball (i.g. not from git source tree or when git
 is not available) `genbuild.sh` write undefined $TIME to "build/build.h".

 Even worse, when TIME is set in the environment then its value
 is written instead of a date.

 For me this change fixed FTBFS which I got because I had
 TIME enviroment variable set with format for time(1) utility.

a20c0d0f67 Build identification strings
All client version information is moved to version.cpp, which optionally
(-DHAVE_BUILD_INFO) includes build.h. build.h is automatically generated
on supporting platforms via contrib/genbuild.sh, using git describe.

The git export-subst attribute is used to put the commit id statically
in version.cpp inside generated archives, and this value is used if no
build.h is present.

The gitian descriptors are modified to use git archive instead of a
copy, to create the src/ directory in the output. This way,
src/src/version.cpp will contain the static commit id. To prevent
gitian builds from getting the "-dirty" marker in their git-describe
generated identifiers, no touching of files or running sed on the
makefile is performed anymore. This does not seem to influence
determinism.
