setup: refactor the version string to a subset of tag+tagdist-hash+date
Here is an array summarizing the mercurial version string:
[A] [B] [C] [D]
[1] clone tag clean => tag
[2] clone hash clean => latesttag+latesttagdistance-hash
[3] clone tag dirty => tag+date
[4] clone hash dirty => latesttag+latesttagdistance-hash+date
[5] archive tag clean => tag
[6] archive hash clean => latesttag+latesttagdistance-hash
Column [A]: Mercurial built from an hg *archive* or hg *clone* working directory
Column [B]: revision built has a *tag* or else default to the SHA1 *hash*
Column [C]: working tree *clean* or *dirty*
Column [D]: Mercurial version string
Over the previous version:
- row [5] did return just the node hash, now it returns the tag
- prepend the latest tag and the distance to it to rows [2][4][6]
- append also the date to row [3]; previously, it was just the tag
- the version string is with an empty string to avoid possible TypeError
exceptions during string manipulations
- factorize the function to run hg commands; remove the error message as it is
no more specific to the function.
This scheme enables to have first part of the version strings that can be
compared, whether it has been built from a tagged or untagged revision.
The second part of the version adds a hash for untagged revisions and today's
date if the working tree has local modifications.
As the version string does not contain spaces or special characters, it should
not break script parsing the 'hg version' command and should be usable for use
in file names.
The new code also ensure that the version string has exactly the same version
string, whether it has been built from an archive or from a clone.

# The config file looks like this. You can have paths to individual
# repos, collections of repos in a directory tree, or both.
#
# [paths]
# virtual/path1 = /real/path1
# virtual/path2 = /real/path2
# virtual/root = /real/root/*
# / = /real/root2/*
# virtual/root2 = /real/root2/**
#
# [collections]
# /prefix/to/strip/off = /root/of/tree/full/of/repos
#
# paths example:
#
# * First two lines mount one repository into one virtual path, like
# '/real/path1' into 'virtual/path1'.
#
# * The third entry mounts every mercurial repository found in '/real/root'
# in 'virtual/root'. This format is preferred over the [collections] one,
# since using absolute paths as configuration keys is not supported on every
# platform (especially on Windows).
#
# * The fourth entry is a special case mounting all repositories in
# /'real/root2' in the root of the virtual directory.
#
# * The fifth entry recursively finds all repositories under the real root,
# and mounts them using their relative path (to given real root) under the
# virtual root.
#
# collections example: say directory tree /foo contains repos /foo/bar,
# /foo/quux/baz. Give this config section:
# [collections]
# /foo = /foo
# Then repos will list as bar and quux/baz.
#
# Alternatively you can pass a list of ('virtual/path', '/real/path') tuples
# or use a dictionary with entries like 'virtual/path': '/real/path'
