linux: Use optional compile-time RELEASE_VERSION variable (#11490)

Thorsten Ball and Bennet created 2 years ago

This implements `app_version` on Linux by using an optional,
compile-time `RELEASE_VERSION` env var that can be set.

We settled on the `RELEASE_VERSION` as the name, since it's similar to
`RELEASE_CHANNEL` which we use in Zed.
