Subject: [PATCH] fix(build): describe git version from lightweight tags too

A USEGITVER=1 build derives its version with `git describe`, which only
considers annotated tags. xCAT tags releases with lightweight tags, so in a
tree without a reachable annotated tag `git describe` fails and VER comes out
empty, producing a broken package version.

Use `git describe --tags` so lightweight tags are considered.

Recovered from the unmerged lenovobuild branch (original 25248d19; the
commit's .post->.POST rename and its makegenesisbuilderrpm hunk are omitted
-- the former is an unrelated RPM-sort preference and the latter targets a
script no longer present on master).
