Currently configure supports a --pkgversion flag which is used by people
packaging QEMU in RPM/Debs to include their arbitrary custom version string.
This information is then reported by -version and the appropriate QMP
command.
We could quite easily make configure default the pkgversion to the current
GIT hash if --pkgversion is not explicitly given.
