Extracts release for GStreamer plugin metadata

Release information is first tried to be extracted from a git repository at the same place as the Cargo.toml, or one directory up to allow for Cargo workspaces. If no git repository is found, we assume this is a release.

• If extracted from a git repository, sets the COMMIT_ID environment variable to the short commit id of the latest commit and the BUILD_REL_DATE environment variable to the date of the commit.

• If not, COMMIT_ID will be set to the string RELEASE and the BUILD_REL_DATE variable will be set to the mtime of Cargo.toml.

• If neither is possible, COMMIT_ID is set to the string UNKNOWN and BUILD_REL_DATE to the current date.
