meson: Generate version for reproducibility

Right now we call date directly from meson.build leading to
non-reproducible builds.

This commit makes it only call date when building from git,
otherwise it extracts the version from the tarball name.

script borrowed from accountsservice.

Closes https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/plymouth/plymouth/-/issues/188
