    This patch adds a new vcs-version file that is generated via git (and
    can be adapted if VCS is changed) and then embebbded as VCS_VERSION in
    the constants module.
    
    This means two things:
    - local modifications without committing to git (or when using a tar.gz
      archive + mods) will not be reflected
    - version is fixed at the time of the last make regen-vcs-version (dist time,
      or devel/upload which calls this)
    
    Thus this is more geared at developers rather than end users.
    
    The patch:
    
    - adds rules for generating the vcs-version file
    - adds a dist-hook for re-generating the file (if possible) and copying
      the updated version to the distdir
    - modifies devel/upload to re-generate the file before upload
    
    The output of --version will look like:
    gnt-cluster (ganeti v2.2.0beta0-184-gebca7e6) 2.2.0~beta0
