Simon McVittie fff97c95eb build: Mechanically generate ABI versions from version number
If we're strict about applying something resembling semantic versioning
to the "marketing" version number, then we can mechanically generate
the ABI version from it.

This limits the range of valid micro versions (patchlevels) to 0-99.

# Release checklist
## New feature release
* Update `WhatsNew.txt`
* Bump version number to 2.EVEN.0 in all these locations:
* `configure.ac`, `CMakeLists.txt`: `SDL_*_VERSION`
* `Xcode/SDL/Info-Framework.plist`: `CFBundleShortVersionString`,
`CFBundleVersion`
* `Makefile.os2`: `VERSION`
* `build-scripts/winrtbuild.ps1`: `$SDLVersion`
* `include/SDL_version.h`: `SDL_*_VERSION`, `SDL_PATCHLEVEL`
* `src/main/windows/version.rc`: `FILEVERSION`, `PRODUCTVERSION`,
`FileVersion`, `ProductVersion`
* Bump ABI version information
* `CMakeLists.txt`, `Xcode/SDL/SDL.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj`:
`DYLIB_CURRENT_VERSION`, `DYLIB_COMPATIBILITY_VERSION`
* set first number in `DYLIB_CURRENT_VERSION` to
(100 * *minor*) + 1
* set second number in `DYLIB_CURRENT_VERSION` to 0
* if backwards compatibility has been broken,
increase `DYLIB_COMPATIBILITY_VERSION` (?)
* Regenerate `configure`
* Do the release
## New bugfix release
* Check that no new API/ABI was added
* If it was, do a new feature release (see above) instead
* Bump version number from 2.Y.Z to 2.Y.(Z+1) (Y is even)
* Same places as listed above
* Bump ABI version information
* `CMakeLists.txt`, `Xcode/SDL/SDL.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj`:
`DYLIB_CURRENT_VERSION`, `DYLIB_COMPATIBILITY_VERSION`
* set second number in `DYLIB_CURRENT_VERSION` to *patchlevel*
* Regenerate `configure`
* Do the release
## After a feature release
* Create a branch like `release-2.24.x`
* Bump version number to 2.ODD.0 for next development branch
* Same places as listed above
* Bump ABI version information
* Same places as listed above
* Assume that the next feature release will contain new API/ABI
## New development prerelease
* Bump version number from 2.Y.Z to 2.Y.(Z+1) (Y is odd)
* Same places as listed above
* Bump ABI version information
* `CMakeLists.txt`, `Xcode/SDL/SDL.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj`:
`DYLIB_CURRENT_VERSION`, `DYLIB_COMPATIBILITY_VERSION`
* set first number in `DYLIB_CURRENT_VERSION` to
(100 * *minor*) + *patchlevel* + 1
* set second number in `DYLIB_CURRENT_VERSION` to 0
* if backwards compatibility has been broken,
increase `DYLIB_COMPATIBILITY_VERSION` (?)
* Regenerate `configure`
* Do the release
