Gustavo Niemeyer 220c74984a build: support versioning without hg
CL 4873048 introduced the ability to build without hg and
getting an "unknown" version.  While this approach works
to avoid the hg dependency, it also means that every
exported tree that is built without hg or .hg will have not
only missing information, but will also be compatible to
one another.  Considering that it is a common practice to
remove the VCS data in distributions, I suggest we don't
take this approach to avoid its consequences.

This CL fixes the same problem in a different way: if a
VERSION file at the top of the tree exists, use it at
all times.  If it doesn't, fall back to using information
from hg necessarily, and fail if that's not possible.  The
error message when VERSION and hg are not available
instructs users to handle it properly.

The VERSION file can be generated with
"src/version.bash -save" while hg is still around.

Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set
the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go
directory (the one containing this README).  You can omit the
variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild
from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install.html).
You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin
to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might
put the following in your .profile:

    export GOROOT=$HOME/go
    export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See doc/install.html for more details.
