Stamp the git tag or short commit into the binary (closes #4)

A plain `docker build .` now stamps bsdaily's version: the VERSION
build argument when one is given, otherwise `git describe --tags
--always` on the .git in the build context, as the canonical
Dockerfile does. The build fails if .git is there and the version
still comes out empty, dev or unknown. A host `make` build stamps the
same `git describe`, or dev. bsdaily logs the version on the first
line of every run and prints it with --version; a build that stamps
nothing, or an empty value, reports dev.

Judgement call: the build line also takes the canonical -trimpath and
-s -w.
One //nolint (gochecknoglobals): -X can only set a package-level
variable.
