pull: Update the version string.
Fixes <http://bugs.gnu.org/19278>. Reported by Tomáš Čech <tcech@suse.cz>. This allows 'guix --version' to return something that better represents what version is being used. * build-aux/build-self.scm (date-version-string): New procedure. (build): Add #:version. [builder]: Pass it to 'build-guix' as #:package-version.
