Derive the image's version from the .git in the build context (closes #366)

A plain docker build, as upaas runs it, passed no VERSION build arg and
had no .git, so every such image stamped "unknown". .dockerignore now
sends .git without its config, which can carry a credential, and every
tracked file (an excluded one would read as deleted and mark the version
-dirty). The VERSION build arg loses its "unknown" default, so
script/version derives the version inside the build; a given VERSION
still takes precedence.

The builder stage installs git, trusts the copied checkout whoever owns
its files, and fails when its context carries .git and the version still
comes out "unknown". The CI fingerprint is now the commit being checked.

Model: opus-5-5
