a71c56a clientversion: Use full commit hash for commit-based version descriptions (Luke Dashjr)
Pull request description:
git keeps changing the number of digits in abbreviated hashes, resulting in the GitHub archive hash changing because we include it here.
To workaround this and avoid hashes that become increasingly ambiguous later on, just include the full commit hash when building from git.
This has no effect on tagged releases.
(Cleanly mergable back to 0.10 without backport)

Putting the build date in the executable is a practice that has no place
in these days, now that deterministic building is increasingly common.
Continues #7732 which did this for the GUI.
