Stamp the tag or short commit in a plain docker build (closes #211)

A plain `docker build .` stamped `dev`: `.dockerignore` left out `.git`
and the Dockerfile defaulted VERSION to `dev`. `.dockerignore` now
sends `.git` without `.git/config`. Given no build arguments, the
builder stamps `git describe --tags --always` and the commit and date
from git, and fails if `.git` is present but yields no version. The
empty CHECK_EPOCH refusal is gone so the plain build succeeds.
`script/version` now prints `git describe --tags --always --dirty`, so
make, the scripts and a plain build agree. `vaultik version` treats
the short commit and tag-N-gHASH forms as development builds, so they
keep the development-build notice.

+# Our own extension to scripts-to-rule-them-all. The Makefile's LDFLAGS
+# call this rather than carrying a hardcoded constant, which is what used
+# to make every local build claim to be 1.0.0-rc.1 regardless of git
+# state. script/docker and script/cibuild pass its output to the image
+# build; given no version, the image build runs `git describe --tags
+# --always` itself, without `--dirty`.
 #
-# The rules, in order:
+# The version is `git describe --tags --always --dirty`: the tag on a
+# tagged commit, tag-N-gHASH on a commit after one, the short commit
+# when no tag is reachable, each with a "-dirty" suffix when tracked
+# files have uncommitted changes. Untracked files are ignored: a stray
+# scratch file does not change what was compiled. Outside a git checkout
+# (release tarball, `go install`), or in one with no commits, it is
+# "dev".
 #
-#   HEAD is exactly on an annotated or lightweight tag
-#       -> that tag, with a leading "v" stripped
-#   anything else
-#       -> "dev-<12 chars of HEAD>"
-#   not a git checkout at all (release tarball, `go install`)
-#       -> "dev"
-#
-# Either of the first two gains a "-dirty" suffix when tracked files
-# have uncommitted changes, because a modified checkout of v1.0.0 is
-# not v1.0.0. Untracked files are ignored, matching `git describe
-# --dirty`: a stray scratch file does not change what was compiled.
-#
-# The "v" is stripped so that a `make` build and a goreleaser build of
-# the same tagged commit report the *same* string: goreleaser's
-# {{ .Version }} is the tag without the prefix, and the release archive
-# names are built from it. A tag named `v1.0.0` therefore produces
-# `vaultik 1.0.0`, matching `vaultik_1.0.0_linux_amd64.tar.gz`.
-#
-# Nothing here ever invents a version number. An untagged build says so
-# and names the commit it was built from; it does not round up to the
-# nearest plausible release.
