Merge #14612: Include full version number in released file names
75a4bf699fa6bdefa1b3d8cd405ea822d6ee01c0 Update release-process.md to include RC version bumping (Andrew Chow) 04b0bc7425e43de90856beeb1f33653db109fecd build: include rc number in version number (Andrew Chow) 895e6bbb2241e9175463734f3677398a9f38f0f8 build: if VERSION_BUILD is non-zero, include it in the package version (Andrew Chow) Pull request description: As noted on IRC, the filenames of the gitian build results do not contain the 4th digit of the version number if it has one, e.g. 0.17.0.1 produces files with the number 0.17.0. Furthermore, when RC's are built, the resulting filenames are of the release version and do not include `rc` in them. This occurs because `configure.ac` is written to create version numbers of the form `major.minor.rev` instead of `major.minor.rev.build` and without any rc version as it does not handle rc numbers. This PR changes `configure.ac` to include the build number if it is greater than 0. It will also include the rc number if it is greater than 0. So the filenames of the gitian builds will now contain the full version number. This behavior can be tested by setting `_CLIENT_VERSION_BUILD` and `_CLIENT_VERSION_RC` to non-zero values and then doing `make dist`. A tar file should be created with the correct versioning.
