Instead of using a URL and git sha1, this uses `git describe` to
describe the version relative to the nearest previous git tag, which
gives a better indication of whether this is a release, a prerelease,
a slightly patched prerelease, or a long way after the last release
during active development.
This serves two purposes: it makes those APIs more informative, and it
also puts this information into the binary in a form that is easy to
screen-scrape using strings(1). For instance, if the bundled version of
SDL in a game has this, we can see at a glance what version it is.
It's also shorter than using the web address of the origin git
repository and the full git commit sha1.
Also write the computed version into a file ./VERSION in `make dist`
tarballs, so that when we build from a tarball on a system that doesn't
have git available, we still get the version details.
For the Perforce code path in showrev.sh, output the version number
followed by the Perforce revision, in a format reminiscent of
`git describe` (with p instead of g to indicate Perforce).
For the code path with no VCS available at all, put a suffix on the
version number to indicate that this is just a guess (we can't know
whether this SDL version is actually a git snapshot or has been
patched locally or similar).

- SDL_LoadObject: upon failure, strip the .dll extension and retry,
but only if module name has no path.
- SDL_LoadFunction: upon failure, retry with an underscore prepended,
e.g. for gcc-built dlls.
- strlcpy was passed a wrong buffer length parameter. has worked so
far by luck.
- use memcpy instead of strlcpy for simplicity.
- 'append' has been a typo: should be 'prepend'.
Otherwise the thread might block for a long time (more than 10 seconds!).
It's not clear to me why this happens, or why its safe to do this with a
resource that's still in use, but we have, until recently, always
disposed of the AudioQueue first, so changing back is probably okay.
Also changed the disposal to allow in-flight buffers to reach hardware;
otherwise you lose the last little bit of audio that's already been queued
but not played, which you can hear clearly in the loopwave test program.
Fixes#6377.
