base,misc: Added version to code

This version ID string can be accessed from elsewhere in the CPP
codebase using `extern const char *gem5Version;`. The python variable
"gem5Version" may be accessed in by importing the generated
"defines.py". When gem5 now runs it will output the version
currently being used to the CLI.
