meson make: use VERSION file

To create a distribution package with meson you run
  `meson dist -C <your_build_dir>`
This will collect all git tracked files and pack them into an archive.
There is no way to collect version information for that.

So now the base version stands in the VERSION file. To relase a flashrom
version you change that file and tag the changing commit.

When building from git the git version is embedded in the flashrom
binary. E.g.:
flashrom 1.4.0-devel (git:v1.2-1172-g7f186838) on Linux 6.1.3 (x86_64)
