packaging: extract pre-computed version when running from plain tarball
The tarballs created by setup.py are not including the usual archive
markers that `hg archive` leaves, so the rewrite of the version number
computation actually left the empty version string around. This meant
that installations from PyPI would use 0.0.0 as version string.

To run the tests, do:
cd tests/
python run-tests.py
