Review Comment:
I've updated the patches now to make a compromise here.
* We keep the *specific* versioning, which can be an sha256sum or a git hash
or anything which can *accurately* describe a unique source version.
* We add a `SourceInfo.version_guess` member to the data type. This is
implemented by plugins who implement it, for the `DownloadableFileSource`,
there is a default implementation which does the regex thing found in the
collect_manifest code, and an added `version-guess-pattern` configure key
allowing the user to specify the regex which should be used in order to make a
guess in determining the version.
I think essentially this gives us the same functionality, however I'm just
more comfortable with calling this a *guess*, and avoid any misinterpretation
of the promises BuildStream is making here.
Essentially, really *knowing* a version requires some human understanding of
the upstream project, what their release policy is, and what, if anything,
their release tags or git branches mean in relation to that.
