Stamp the tag or short commit in a plain docker build (closes #112)

.dockerignore now sends .git but not .git/config, which can hold a
credential and which git describe does not need. The build stage stamps
main.Gitrev from the VERSION build argument when one is given, otherwise
from git describe --tags --always, and fails if .git is present and no
version comes out. script/docker is replaced by the canonical copy,
which passes VERSION; bin/gitrev.sh uses --tags too, so every entrypoint
stamps the same value for a clean commit.

+- 2026-10-02: a plain `docker build .` of a clone now stamps the tag or short
+  commit into `mfer version` instead of nothing: `.dockerignore` sends `.git`

+  version comes out. `script/docker` is the canonical copy, which passes
+  `VERSION`; `bin/gitrev.sh` uses `--tags` too (#112)
