Subject: Inject version with embed instead of build flags

The build flags made the basic build and debug calls quite complex and
bound this strictly to Git repositories which is a problem if the source
code is passed around as tar archive.

Embedding this via Go's embed package and a VERSION.txt file makes this
way easier. A simple `go build` command is sufficient to build ceres.

To make sure the version string is extended by a `-devel` marker and
that this marker is removed before a release a RELEASE.md file was added
as a checklist for releases.
