Drawback: The version string is no longer a valid git identifier.
For this reason the 'g' short hash prefix has been removed.
Exception: When building directly from a tag this behaves exactly like the previous behavior.
This allows formatting release versions with precision i.e. v0.9.2
This also allows arbitrary topicbranch names i.e. v0.9.1-glibc-compat
INIT_PROTO_VERSION is the initial version, after a succesful version/verack it is increased to a negotiated version.
MIN_PEER_PROTO_VERSION could be a different value to disconnect from peers older than a specified version.

Removing wine as a win32 build dep is beneficial to fixing Gitian LXC,
which would enable many more people to join in the gitian.sigs process
by being able to build with a linux VM instead of a virt capable host.
The final revision of PR 3029 incorporated a review suggestion of replacing
i686-w64-mingw32 with $HOST. But we forgot that $HOST is not expanded when
within single quotes so it actually broke qt-win32.yml build. This is the
minimal changes necessary to fix the qt-win32.yml build.
Workaround 1.54.0 build bug, upstream #9156
Workaround 1.51.0+ human bug, upstream #7262
This commit also demonstrates a method to verify the integrity of inputs.
mingw upgrade allows more hardening, compiler bug fixes and possibily win64 later.
Rename deps .zip files to be more consistent in revision format.
