Fix mechanism for getting package version, when git is not present #349

Closed nirosys closed 3 months ago

Issue #, if available: n/a

Description of changes: Not too long ago an API was added in order to provide access to ion-c version information programmatically. During the build, a cmake script would query git for detailed information (revision sha, commits since tag, etc) to include in the API's data.

In the event that git is not available, or not enough git commits have been pulled down (clone --depth 1 for instance) this information is not present. The intention, was to lean on the cmake project's version in this case, but 2 issues prevented that from happening, which this PR fixes.

This PR passes the project version to the cmake script as a define, so that it is always present. It also fixes the default version to include filler that would normally be present in a git describe, so that the regex correctly matches and version header is generated.
