setup: make the version computation process more resistant stable

setup: make the version computation process more resistant

The tag fetching might return and empty string¹, from there everything derails
quickly. As setup tools becomes more picky about version format we make the
whole seems a bit more robust.

The resulting version will be obviously weird, but at least it will actually
install itself.

[1] This is a problem we will address in the next changesets.
