Title: Show SHA in About box if available

If .git metadata is found on disk when launching Brackets, read the current SHAs (for brackets & brackets-app) and show them in the About dialog. This is much more precise than the "sprint N" label for users who are pulling Brackets via git (like Mike & Ryan).

This won't tell if the user has local changes, of course. That would be a spiffy enhancement some day, though :-)

I did a quick test to see if reading the SHAs impacts startup time -- it does not.
