If working out of a custom git tree that lacks annotated tags, the
'git describe' operation spews "fatal: cannot describe" errors all
over the place. So add some fallback code in case the best naming
was unable to locate something useful.

Change the automatic local version to have the form -nnnnn-gSHA1SUMID,
where 'nnnnn' is the number of commits since the last tag (i.e.,
1.3.2-rc3). This makes it much easier to recognize "newer" versions
and to see how much has been changed since the referenced tag.
Stolen from Linux kernel's scripts/setlocalversio, see commit d882421f.

As done in the linux kernel, the U-Boot version (U_BOOT_VERSION)
of all unreleased (untagged) U-Boot images will be automatically
extended upon compiletime with a part of the GIT commit ID and
possibly with "dirty" if uncommited changes are detected.
Here an example for the resulting version:
"U-Boot 1.1.4-g3457ac18-dirty"
The version is now maintained in the toplevel Makefile and the
version headers are autogenerated.
