Don't rely on pkg_resources for version string

If pkg_resources is not available the couchdb.init modules sets the version string to '?'. We shouldn't rely on pkg_resources for something so important, especially as it's the only use of pkg_resources.

Not something I've done anything with. I'm guessing it annoyed me while I was in the middle of something so created the issue so it wouldn't get forgotten. Clearly, that tactic failed ;). Not sure why it's assigned to me actually, I guess that's the default for new issues.
