Use the version information detected in the manage-version action, as
the actual build is happening in the speculative post-merge branch,
resulting in a bogus 'commit distance' number.

Make the version information used throughout the application and build
process compliant with the SemVer specifications, so that it can be
processed with libraries.

Make multiple improvements to the existing workflows:
- create a shared custom action to deal with version number tracking
and generation;
- use this action to add the branch name to the version for pull
request builds;
- create a shared workflow for all debian-ish builds to avoid re-use
by copy / paste;
- remove potential security risks by eliminating the use of
pre-evaluated expressions (`${{ ... }}`) inside scripts;
- update outdated GitHub action versions;
- improve the consistency by renaming scripts acording to have a `.sh`
extension;
- improve naming of generated artefacts for pull requests to include
the correct version.
@dirkh: Unfortunately this is potentially going to break builds when it is
merged, as there is no good way to 'test' a merge build short of
merging.
We'll just have to deal with the fallout of it in a follow-up pull
request.
