[PATCH 3/3] Refresh VERSION file when building distribution tarball in "make dist"

Overwrite contents of VERSION file from the HEAD revision with the current version (at the time of building), so VERSION file in the tarball generated by "make dist" (and which follows also rpm package generated by "make rpm") is up to date.

Otherwise for example when building rpm it will be compiled with wrong version string.

One of those changes was using HEAD version of VERSION file in "make dist", instead of regenerating it and replacing it with the one containing _current_ version in the tar file.

Note the mismatch in the versions: 0.7.4.g1995120 vs 0.7.git (by the way, shouldn't it be 0.7.tig?), even when building from live repo, and not from tarball.

This is 3rd patch in the series, but it is actually independent on the rest, and can be applied in any order.
