build: commit CI-generated version so sdist gets correct metadata

The sdist must contain a unique, correctly set version string.
Overriding the version via MESONPY_PROJECT_VERSION does not work when
building from a Git checkout, and modifying meson.build alone is
insufficient because uncommitted changes are not included in the source
archive.

Create a temporary, local commit in CI so the generated tarball carries
the correct version metadata.
