Subject: [PATCH] Change the way to receive version
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Used git to receive version from tags (see #304)
- Version now displayed when start node (fix #102)

Example:

→ ./bin/node --version
neo-go version 0.44.10-245-g67d5e9f

→ ./bin/node -v
neo-go version 0.44.10-245-g67d5e9f
