Let's make sure that versions generated by meson-vcs-tag.sh always sort higher than official and stable releases. We achieve this by immediately updating the meson version in meson.build after a new release. To make sure this version always sorts lower than future rcs, we suffix it with "~devel" which will sort lower than "~rcX". The new release workflow is to update the version in meson.build for each rc and the official release and to also update the version number after a new release to the next development version. The full version is exposed as PROJECT_VERSION_FULL and used where it makes sense over PROJECT_VERSION. We also switch to reading the version from a meson.version file in the repo instead of hardcoding it in meson.build. This makes it easier to access both inside and outside of the project. The meson-vcs-tag.sh script is rewritten to query the version from meson.version instead of passing it in via the command line. This makes it easier to use outside of systemd since users don't have to query the version themselves first.
