It will be used by the fsck utility in future. We could expose it
publicly in future too, if needed.

There are currently no unstable APIs, but some will be added in
following commits. They will be built and exposed in the libostree
global symbol list iff configured with --enable-experimental-api.
Distributions should not package OSTree with --enable-experimental-api.
This is designed for previewing new APIs on controlled platforms; any of
the APIs hidden behind this option may be changed or removed at any
point.

OSTree currently provides no way to inspect the versioning
information at run time, being only available at compile
time through pkg-config.
This is a problem for e.g. Flatpak, that needs to check
whether the 'update-frequency' option is available. Checking
at compile time isn't great since it's not looking for new
symbols, but only if an optional feature is present.
This commit, then, adds a new header that is generated
at compile time, exposing OSTree's versioning information.

I don't much like Docbook (and am considering converting the man pages
too), but let's start with the manual.
I looked at various documentation generators (there are a lot), and
I had a few requirements:
- Markdown
- Packaged in Fedora
- Suitable for upload to a static webserver
`mkdocs` seems to fit the bill.
This is preparation for introducing a `mkdocs` manual under `doc/`
which should be significantly more useful for the world at large than
the minimal manual that exists there now.
