    Fix server version reporting to be the server package version. · 47300ed2

    Previously, the server version reported by xdpyinfo and Xorg -version would
    bear some vague resemblance to a X.Org katamari version, but in the presence
    of modularization (and client-server relationships with different katamari
    versions on each side) those numbers don't really make sense.  Instead, just
    report the package version.
    
    When branching a stable branch, master's version should be immediately updated
    to the endpoint of the stable branch plus a snapshot of 1 (for example,
    1.4.0.1 after server-1.4-branch).  The stable branch should then be changed to
    RC0 at that time (1.3.99.0, for example).
    
    This scheme was partially attempted for server 1.3, but lacked the appropriate
    master updates, thus why it had to be revisited now.  While here, we can also
    remove a lot of versioning complexity since everything is based on the package
    version.
