It inherently depends on the individual build, and can't
really be an official stable API for introspection users.
I've noticed the value of this flip flop when doing local builds.
I'm fairly certain no one is trying to use it from a higher level
language.
It'd probably make sense to even drop from the official C API,
but I'm trying to be conservative with that.
This way projects can dispatch at run-time based on ostree's
build time options, e.g. detect the availability of GPG.

We added a `.dir-locals.el` in commit: 9a77017d87
There's no need to have it per-file, with that people might think
to add other editors, which is the wrong direction.

This is especially interesting for the versioning symbols themselves,
as it is an indicator of when applications using introspection information
can start to use a symbol in the library to check if they have a
recent enough version of OSTree to use.

Actually trying to use this in rpm-ostree, it kept returning successfully when I
didn't expect it to... The first conditional was always succeeding even when I
was asking for a newer minor.

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.
