Let a plain docker build pass and stamp the git version (closes #57)

The size tests skip a case whose secret needs more locked memory than
RLIMIT_MEMLOCK allows: memguard panics otherwise, and a plain
`docker build .` runs under an 8 MiB limit. script/cibuild still runs
every case.

The build stage stamps the VERSION build argument, else
`git describe --tags --always`, and fails when .git is present but
yields no version. `make build` stamps `git describe` too instead of
the fixed 0.1.0. .dockerignore keeps .git/config out; script/docker is
now the canonical copy.
