replace 'semver' placeholder in release defs with git derived vsn

[tsloughter]

This does NOT rely on my change to ec_git_vsn, so can be merged now if people agree with the change.

@ericbmerritt thoughts?

I like this and it looks reasonable. We should maybe make a warning about release upgrades not working if you use this though. Either in the readme or in the output

[tsloughter]

Why would upgrades not work?

[ericbmerritt]

If I remember correctly relx expects you to have multiple releases
configured in the config, and uses that to do the upgrade. However, I might
be misremembering.

Oh, na. By default it looks for a matching release in the path. So if you were on tag v1.0.0 and build that release, then switch to tag v1.1.0 and run relx relup it will build a relup from v1.0.0 to v1.1.0 -- this assuming you don't delete the first release from your path.

Ok. no worries then.
