revert to hardcoded version strings

before, we tried to be smart and wrote
an auto-generated version string via `git describe`
to alot.VERSION at setup time that got read by alot.__init__
later on.

This reverts to a hardcoded version string in alot.__version__.
It makes tedious calls to `git update-index --assume-unchanged VERSION`
unnecessary and makes life easier for packagers.

closes issue #299
