- for now all versions start with v6.0
- CICD builds use the monolithic build number as patch level, e.g. v6.0.12345
- local builds use the following algorithm
- find the newest commit with a CICD build number that is included in the
working tree
- count the number of commits in the working tree since that commit
- if there are no commits since the last CICD build, the local build version
will be v6.0.12345-local
- if there are N commits since the last CICD build, it will be
v6.0.12345-N-local
- test builds in the CICD that don't create artifacts simply use a dummy release
in order to not incorrectly increment the build number and also not to waste
time and resources by manually checking out the nightly-build repo for each of
these builds.

I don't think this will be a problem for the other OSs, but it needs a bit
more testing, especially on the Mac.

The quotes are not needed either (nothing to expand there).

Someone who is better at shell script writing needs to review this.
Here's what it's supposed to do. Create version strings with three or four
values for darwin or win, respectively, that we can use as the versions of
the bundle or installer. The version that Subsurface reports isn't
affected by this. So in a way this is automating something that's mostly
cosmetic.
If we have a 2 digit version number (like 3.0), do the same the old script
did - add just zeroes if we are on a tag, otherwise add the number of
commits since the tag (and a last 0 if on win).
If we have a 3 digit version numner (like 3.0.1), leave it alone on mac
and add either the number of commits since the tag or a zero if we are on
the tag on win.
Now this can create the same version number for two different versions on
darwin: the first commit after 3.0 and the version tagged as 3.0.1 will
both get the same number. That's kinda silly but remember - the non-tagged
versions aren't supposed to be widely distributed (and the third digit in
them should be much larger than anything we'd ever release; we are
already on commit 16 since the last tag and hopefully will never release a
3.0.16 as tagged release). And of course the full version as displayed in
the About box is always able to tell things apart because of the SHA added
at the end if it's a non-tagged version.
So why all this magic? The reason we do this is so that during development
we are able to create Mac and Windows installers and they get reasonable
version numbers, based on the versioning that these vendors suppose. And
without manual intervention.

Removed oddly named and ridiculously outdated documentation text (scripts).
Created new directory 'scripts'.
Added unified version extraction script (scripts/get-version). Yes, it's
more shell script code but faster and more maintainable than the sed commands
and the swearwords/regexps repeated over and over again.
Makefile and packaging/macosx/make-package.sh modified accordingly.
I don't do windos neither macos but, AFAICS my tests show, it should be safe.
