mkarchiso: add version information
To date the iso version was used for iso volume information and iso file name.
In my custom builds I do use it a lot more:
* Inside the root fs: The system knows about its own version. I use this to:
-> report the version to a server (poor man's inventory)
-> let the system update itself
* On the iso fs: The files are served via rsync, running systems transfer
version file first to check for available update.
* A grub environment file on the iso fs: Booting the iso from grub allows
to create cow directory per version:
loopback loop archlinux.iso
load_env -f (loop)/arch/grubenv
linux (loop)/arch/boot/x86_64/vmlinuz-linux ... \
cow_directory=archlinux/${VERSION} ...
So let's just create these files.
