git-version-gen: revert "detect untagged revisions" Revert commit bedd7833 as it breaks `make dist` in Inetutils at least, due to the interdependencies with top/GNUMakefile, which depend on the tag prefixes. This results in `make dist` inducing a new call to autoconf where a simple tar-ball build would be expected.

-	git-version-gen: detect untagged revisions
-	* build-aux/git-version-gen: If fallback string is empty,
-	but git is available, use "git describe --always" to extract
-	a revision, and prefix it with "g".  This is much better than
-	responding "UNKNOWN" and it applies to shallow clones!
