text: more Git updates

A few updates for Git that were missed, including the new version
numbering scheme for nightly snapshot tarballs.

(cherry picked from commit 7dfc0c60ee581f4e3249f1bc349574b3998546fd)
distscript: whitespace cleanup, remove ancient kruft

There was some (almost) wholly-commented out code in here that reaches
back to the beginning of the project.  Just delete it.

(cherry picked from commit cfcf3fa42df4571273e754cf80fd63e8bf73c0b3)
distscript: remove configure.params and autogen.subdirs kruft

Remove configure.params support: configure.params hasn't been used in
years.

Also remove autogen.subdirs support; those should really be handled by
their respective Makefile.am's.

(cherry picked from commit 8468424f4566858a0652d13673172164d0f2d538)
version configury: make dist now works

Update the VERSION file scheme:

* Remove "want_repo_rev".
* Add "tarball_version".

All values are now always included (major, minor, release, greek,
repo_rev).  However, configure.ac now runs "opal_get_version.sh
... --tarball", which will return the value of tarball_version (if it
is non-empty) or the "full" version string (i.e.,
"major.minor.releasegreek").

(cherry picked from commit 413e775dbfaf08e4ecb25ebd21a591abd220eae6)
build server: moved scripts to contrib/build-server

Removed a redundant copy of the scripts running on the build server
and moved the remaining copy out to a top-level directory in contrib
(i.e., contrib/build-server vs. contrib/dist/build-server, where I
never could remember where to find them).

(cherry picked from commit eb270172a7131760f79f87e76f43026111a60905)
make_dist_tarball: updates for git

Several updates, including:

* Remove -single dash options
* Don't chmod the whole tree; just chmod the files we're trying to remove
* No more support for SVN or HG; 100% git
* Strengthen the dirty repo checks
* Use git describe for the repo version
* Set tarball_version to "" (i.e., empty) in VERSION

(cherry picked from commit c682cf99b2691a1f3fb2d28cbd00e57d696b892b)
