Only new git versions reognize the --ignore-submodules option to
diff-index and diff-files. Do not pass this, to make git-version more
likely to work across different versions, as we don't have any
submodules in the tree anyway.

Rework the git version detection script to handle some issues that
have been pointed out.
1/ Make it work properly with objdir builds
2/ Don't try to work out if the tree is dirty if git describe failed
3/ Use the configured VERSION as a fallback if we can't obtain proper
version information during a make

This patch makes the configure and build system use the output
from 'git describe' to determine the version of the software being
built. This means that all that is necessary to create a new release
is to tag the repository - removing the double sources of version
information.
There are a couple of fallbacks for systems which do not have git
available for builds. Firstly, if a file called '.version' exists
in the top level of the repository, then the version information is
pulled from this file. The intention is that those packaging up
git checkouts for onwards distribution will use
'git describe > .version' before producing their tarballs.
Secondly, if we cannot find any version information then the version
will default to 'UNKNOWN'
This all mirrors the way that many others have integrated git with
automake and friends - although the implementation is independent.
