meson: Bring back use of vcs_tag

The use of vcs_tag was dropped in #28567, which results in builds having
stale version information once new commit are made.

This also fixes a case where CI builds would have no version information
because they are checked out without any tags for git-describe to use.

Additionally, use `--git-dir` now, as that particular issues seems to
have been fixed by now.
