contrib/persistent-https: use Git version for build label

The previous method simply used the UNIX timestamp of when the binary was
built as its build label.

$ make && ./git-remote-persistent-http -print_label
1469061546

This patch aims to align the label for this binary with the Git version
contained in the GIT-VERSION-FILE. This gives a better sense of the version
of the binary as it can be mapped to a particular revision or release of
Git itself. For example:

$ make && ./git-remote-persistent-http -print_label
2.9.1.275.g75676c8

Discussion of this patch is available on a related thread in the mailing
