Commit 64af916c11 removed the version string
from docs/conf.py. py/mpconfig.h is a better place to get the version
from, so use that (when there is no git repository).

This adds the --tags argument to the git describe command that is used
to define the MICROPY_GIT_TAG macro. This makes it match non-annotated
tags. This is useful for MicroPython derivatives that don't use
annotated tags.

This environment variable, if defined during the build process,
indicates a fixed time that should be used in place of "now" when
such a time is explicitely referenced.
This allows for reproducible builds of micropython.

Some downstream projects may use tags in their repositories for more than
just designating MicroPython releases. In those cases, the
makeversionhdr.py script would end up using a different tag than intended.
So tell `git describe` to only match tags that look like a MicroPython
version tag, such as `v1.12` or `v2.0`.
It's more robust to have the version defined statically in a header file,
rather than dynamically generating it via git using a git tag. In case
git doesn't exist, or a different source control tool is used, it's
important to still have the uPy version number available.
