show version in header for static version resolution

This change moves the gint version declaration from a symbol in a
compile-time generated object file to a preprocessed header installed in
the library tree.

This makes it possible to determine the gint version statically from the
headers, which is much more robust in complex build systems that use
version information such as CMake's find_package().
