patchcontrib/persistent-https: use Git version for build label

From: Parker Moore <parkrmoore@gmail.com>

The previous method simply used the UNIX timestamp of when the binary was built as its build label.

    $ make && ./git-remote-persistent-http -print_label
    1469061546

This patch aims to align the label for this binary with the Git version contained in the GIT-VERSION-FILE. This gives a better sense of the version of the binary as it can be mapped to a particular revision or release of Git itself. For example:

    $ make && ./git-remote-persistent-http -print_label
    2.9.1.275.g75676c8

Discussion of this patch is available on a related thread in the mailing list surrounding this package called "contrib/persistent-https: update ldflags syntax for Go 1.7+". The gmane.org link is: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/299653/

We tend to avoid catting a single file only to pipe the result into a different command, so I'd rewrite this like so:

    BUILD_LABEL=$(shell cut -d" " -f3 ../../GIT-VERSION-FILE)

while queuing.

Thanks.

You got it. Here's a new patch:
