Our logic for converting npm style versions to PEP-440 style versions
was not correct in some cases. This change fixes this.
As part of this change we no longer produce a NPM version that would
be just X.Y.Z-dev, instead for development versions we always include
both the timestamp of the commit and the commit hash.
Instead of trying to use a bunch of sed logic to do our conversions,
we now have a small go program that uses a newly added library in
pkg/util. A side effect of this is that we can more easily write tests
to ensure the conversion works as expected.
Fixes#1243
This change actually makes our Python version numbers conformant
to PEP440. Previously we were including the Git commit hash in the
alpha "version number" part, which is incorrect. This simply led to
warnings upon publication and installation, but that warning very
clearly states that support for invalid versions will stop at some
point. This change puts any "informative" parts, like the Git hash,
inside of a local version tag, where such things are permitted.
Also move away from the inline sed silliness so that we can more
easily share this logic across all of our repos.
