Because git-gui is being shipped as a subproject of the main
Git project and will often have a different lifecycle than
the main Git project, we should ship our own version number
in the release tarball rather than relying on the main Git
version file.
Git's master Makefile will invoke our own with the target
dist-version, asking us to save off our GITGUI_VERSION value
into our own version file, so that our GIT-VERSION-GEN script
can recover it at build time.

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.

When used as a subproject within git.git our Makefile must honor
the gitexecdir which git.git's Makefile is passing down to us,
ensuring that we install our executables into the libexec chosen
by the end-user or packager.

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.

We want to embed the version of git-gui directly into the script file,
so that we can display it properly in the about dialog. Consequently
I've refactored the Makefile process to act like the one in core git.git
with regards to shell scripts, allowing git-gui to be constructed by a
sed replacement performed on git-gui.sh.

Since we want to be installed in gitexecdir so that "git gui" works we
can guess where that directory is by asking the git wrapper executable
and locating ourselves at the same location using the same install
rules as core git.
