Prevent VERSION from being picked up as C++20 <version> standard header.

- Move `config.h` (created by `configure`) from main directory to `unix` subdirectory
- Move original `VERSION` from `unix` to `unix/prebuild` subdirectory.
- Fix some instances in `prebuild.sh` where we're adding the main directory to the include search path for no obvious reason.

This should fix GitHub issue #403.
