build: make version from .hg_archival.txt consistent with that from .hg/ D9955 changed the version format to replace "-" by "." and to add "hg" before the number representing the distance from the latest tag. However, it missed the "hg" string and added an extra "." to the version string we produce when there's a `.hg_archival.txt`. This patch makes it consistent.
