c82e1f2902 Use PR_RIGHT for interim version info in main menu
This used some constants counting numbers of characters
(LEN_INTERIM_COMMIT and LEN_BRANCH_NAME) and even an SDL_arraysize,
all multiplied by 8, to get the length of the displayed text.
Now it just uses the new PR_RIGHT flag of font::print.

I did also force the 8x8 font for all the interim information, since
the date kinda overlapped with the menu options... And all of these
lines only show up in interim versions anyway, except for the version
number - which is left in the interface font for consistency with the
rest of the menu in non-interim versions. The inconsistency in interim
versions doesn't really matter all that much I think, it's just some
technical/debug info.

d2b6fb2d06 Add branch name to interim version information
This is useful for developers who may have multiple builds of the game
from various different branches and may easily forget which build of the
game is what.

This shows up in the bottom-right corner of the title screen and also
with the `-version` command-line option, and in the status message
printed when building the game.

4bf5e5e6a0 Optimize recompilation from changing commit hash
This reworks how the commit hash and date are compiled so that if
they're changed (and they're changed often), only one source file needs
to be recompiled in order to update it everywhere in the game, no matter
how many source files use the hash or date.

The commit hash and date are now declared in InterimVersion.h (and they
need `extern "C"` guards because otherwise it results in a link fail on
MSVC because MSVC is stupid).

To do this, what now happens is that upon every rebuild,
InterimVersion.in.c is processed to create InterimVersion.out.c, then
InterimVersion.out.c is compiled into its own static library that is
then linked with VVVVVV.

(Why didn't I just simply add it to the list of VVVVVV source files?
Well, doing it _now_ does nothing because at that point the horse is
already out of the barn, and the VVVVVV executable has already been
declared, so I can't modify its sources. And I can't do it before
either, because we depend on the VVVVVV executable existing to do the
interim version logic. I could probably work around this by cleverly
moving around lines, but that'd separate related logic from each other.)

And yes, the naming convention has changed. Not only did I rename
Version to InterimVersion (to clearly differentiate it from
ReleaseVersion, which I'll be adding later), I also named the files
InterimVersion.in.c and InterimVersion.out.c instead of
InterimVersion.c.in and InterimVersion.c.out. I needed to put the file
extension on the end because otherwise CMake wouldn't recognize what
kind of language it is, and I mean like yeah duh of course it doesn't,
my text editor doesn't recognize it either.
