[gimp/gimp-2-10] app, configure: add configure option for a build id and revision.

commit 8537ee86612f0e1c2125f53799c6dd3efb0f1441
Author: Jehan <jehan girinstud io>

    app, configure: add configure option for a build id and revision.
    
    The point will be for a packager to create a unique build ID to identify
    the build or provenance. I also add a revision number so that we can
    identify 2 builds from the same version/commit, same maker and platform.
    
    It will also be used later to check for new versions (see "phone home"
    feature #2584).
    
    Separating autotools and meson commits for easy backport.
    
    (cherry picked from commit 73c09ebb324a29c3aa7af831c4a6120fdbda15f2)
