  After Mesa upgrades, Chrome won't show graphics

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  After patching Mesa with some driver updates, Chromium/Brave started seeing 
corrupt graphics. This was due to GPU acceleration being enabled in the browser 
by default now, and the old GPU shader cache is invalid in some ways and the 
browser is not able to recognize that the driver has changed, since the 
upstream version string hasn't changed. This is shown for instance with 
'glxinfo -B' or under 'chrome:gpu' from the browser.

  The fix is to make the upstream VERSION to have the full packaging
  version, this will then be used for the core profile version string as
  well.

  
  [Test case]

  - run stock jammy, install brave-browser from brave.com, launch brave-
  browser, check that 'brave://gpu' shows things are accelerated, then
  exit the browser

  - enable proposed, install libgl1-mesa-dri et al

  - launch brave-browser again, verify that gfx are not corrupted and
  brave://gpu is showing acceration being used

  with the pulled update, graphics would be severely corrupted

  
  [Where things could go wrong]
  There could be apps that expect the Mesa version string to only contain 
a.b.c, and break in some ways when that's no longer the case.

  After today's Ubuntu 22.04 Mesa upgrades many of our users reported
  problems viewing graphics when using Google Chrome (Stable).

  The Mesa upgrades we installed were:

  [UPGRADE] libegl-mesa0:amd64 22.2.5-0ubuntu0.1~22.04.1 -> 
22.2.5-0ubuntu0.1~22.04.2
  [UPGRADE] libegl1-mesa:amd64 22.2.5-0ubuntu0.1~22.04.1 -> 
22.2.5-0ubuntu0.1~22.04.2
  [UPGRADE] libgl1-mesa-dri:amd64 22.2.5-0ubuntu0.1~22.04.1 -> 
22.2.5-0ubuntu0.1~22.04.2
  [UPGRADE] libgl1-mesa-glx:amd64 22.2.5-0ubuntu0.1~22.04.1 -> 
22.2.5-0ubuntu0.1~22.04.2
  [UPGRADE] libglapi-mesa:amd64 22.2.5-0ubuntu0.1~22.04.1 -> 
22.2.5-0ubuntu0.1~22.04.2
  [UPGRADE] libglx-mesa0:amd64 22.2.5-0ubuntu0.1~22.04.1 -> 
22.2.5-0ubuntu0.1~22.04.2
  [UPGRADE] mesa-vulkan-drivers:amd64 22.2.5-0ubuntu0.1~22.04.1 -> 
22.2.5-0ubuntu0.1~22.04.2

  We documented the problem in AskUbuntu before we realized it was
  probably related to Mesa, so wanted to link to that report here:

  https://askubuntu.com/questions/1469116/since-23-may-2023-ubuntu-22-04-mesa-
  updates-chrome-wont-display-website-graphi

  There are several useful pointers and bypasses listed in that
  AskUbuntu link (one being to remove affected users' GPUCache
  directories, which does not destroy their profiles and seems to work
  in many but not all cases).

  Not sure if this is an issue with Mesa or Chrome or specific machine
  graphics or an interaction between them.
