Summary: make versions into macros for easier use

Initial Comment:

This patch makes PD_BUGFIX_VERSION and PD_TEST_VERSION
macros in m_pd.h and builds pd_version in s_main.s
using those macros.

Having all four parts of the version defined as macros
will make it much easier to use the version numbers,
like for example, a [version] object or [;pd get
version( message.

the original patch did not put the version into
doc/1.manual/1.introduction.txt, which is used as the "About
Pd" page.  The second patch fixes that, and moved the
PD_VERSION replacement to the "make install" target rather
than happening dynamically in menu_opentext().  This means
that it is no longer necessary to send the pdgui the
version, since that's the only place that it was used.  So
pd_myversion and related elements are removed from u_main.tk
in this patch. 

This stuff is included in Pd-extended and makes the version
numbers MUCH easier to handle.  I've spent quite a bit of
time figuring out regexps to parse out the ever changing
format of pd_version, so this fix should make things much
easier for anyone who wants to dynamically use the pd
version number.
