[PATCH 1/1] building from git: use --abbrev=7 for version string

Users may have set core.abbrev=n, where n != 7 in their git config
file(s) which would give them different than expected version strings
when building notmuch from git. This fixes the commit hash part of
version string to 7 hexadecimal values.

tested with:
git config core.abbrev 12
git describe
rm version.stamp
make
cat version.stamp
git reset --hard origin/master
make
cat version.stamp
