Below is a patch to add a flag to got{,sys,webd}d to simply print its
version.  My next diff will be to use this as a target for the new
RELINK flag in `bsd.prog.mk`.  This will enable link-kits to be
generated with `make afterinstall` in each of the respecting directories
of a got release (i.e., GOT_RELEASE=Yes). This should not affect
anything, since nothing calls the afterinstall tagret.
