Subject: [PATCH] make: update VERSION_TAG to a globally-consistent build-input
 identifier

Additional flags produce:
* Globally consistent commitment hash length, regardless of gitconfig
* `--broken` to create fail-safe tag indicating a dirty or corrupted
  work tree
* `--always` to generate a tag, even if no tags are reachable from the
  current commit.
