version --build-options: report commit, too, if possible

In particular when local tags are used (or tags that are pushed to some
fork) to build Git, it is very hard to figure out from which particular
revision a particular Git executable was built.

Let's just report that in our build options.

We need to be careful, though, to report when the current commit cannot be
determined, e.g. when building from a tarball without any associated Git
repository.
