jolavillette dd5add516e fix(gui): give RetroShare GUI its own version, independent from libretroshare
The GUI reported RS_HUMAN_READABLE_VERSION (a libretroshare macro) as "the
RetroShare version". In the CMake build libretroshare exports RS_MAJOR_VERSION
as a PUBLIC define, so the GUI inherited the engine's version and displayed it
as its own: About showed the same number for both.

Give the GUI its own version, as discussed:

- Add retroshare-gui/src/rsguiversion.h defining RS_GUI_VERSION with a built-in
  default, so every build path (including qmake/Android) compiles even without
  version injection.
- Inject RS_GUI_VERSION from 'git describe' of the super-project in both CMake
  (retroshare-gui/CMakeLists.txt) and qmake (retroshare.pri).
- RsApplication::retroshareVersion() now returns the GUI's own version instead
  of libretroshare's.
- About (HelpDialog) shows the GUI version at the top; libretroshare's version
  is listed among the other libraries, like any dependency. AboutWidget already
  displayed both lines and is now correct automatically.

libretroshare needs no change: it already exposes its own version through
RsInit::libRetroShareVersion() in both build systems.
