Simon McVittie fff97c95eb build: Mechanically generate ABI versions from version number
If we're strict about applying something resembling semantic versioning
to the "marketing" version number, then we can mechanically generate
the ABI version from it.

This limits the range of valid micro versions (patchlevels) to 0-99.

Simon McVittie cd7c2f1de7 Switch versioning scheme to be the same as GLib and Flatpak
For stable releases, this gives us the ability to make bugfix-only point
releases such as 2.24.1 if we want to, and distinguish between them
programmatically. For example, this ability could have been useful after
2.0.16 to fix Xwayland regressions, and after 2.0.18 to fix event loop
regressions.

For development releases, this gives us the ability to make multiple
prereleases during the same feature cycle, and distinguish between them
programmatically. For example, this would have been useful during 2.0.22
development, which went through three prereleases before reaching the
final release.
