cmake: Allow specifying custom VERSION file dependency

Allows applications and projects to specify their own requirements
for the application VERSION file to be re-generated, this fixes an
issue whereby the application git repository is updated with a new
commit but the old commit is still used by a build, users would
need to add a dependency in their application to the git index file
