[PATCH] version.sh: Include leading 'v' from git describe

[Samuel Mendoza-Jonas]

For some reason our version script removes the leading 'v' from the git
tag. This confuses some other tools such as Buildroot and is different
to most other projects, so include it again.

Additionally now that we have tagged releases just use git describe
rather than using a SHA and date to describe non-tag commits.
