Summary: Use version control tags to discover version numbers

Description: 

Elevator pitch: you can write a setup.py with no version information
specified, and vcversioner will find a recent, properly-formatted VCS
tag and extract a version from it.

It's much more convenient to be able to use your version control
system's tagging mechanism to derive a version number than to have to
duplicate that information all over the place. I eventually ended up
copy-pasting the same code into a couple different setup.py files just
to avoid duplicating version information. But, copy-pasting is dumb and
unit testing setup.py files is hard. This code got factored out into
vcversioner.
