Locally, I do make multiple build directories for various purposes, like "build-debug", "build-release", "build-novideo", etc. Also, Qt Creator (if configure it) may automatically create build directories that always starts with a "build-*" prefix.
This also removes various names for build directories. We're not going to add everyone's random build directory name, if you want git to appear clean you can build in the build subdirectory or out of tree.
Some of these are probably unnecessary now that Autotools (with its
optional in-tree builds) has been deleted in favour of CMake (with
mandatory out-of-tree builds), but let's be consistent.
Spotted while doing a `git grep` for other bugs of the same form as #6801.

Instead of using a URL and git sha1, this uses `git describe` to
describe the version relative to the nearest previous git tag, which
gives a better indication of whether this is a release, a prerelease,
a slightly patched prerelease, or a long way after the last release
during active development.
This serves two purposes: it makes those APIs more informative, and it
also puts this information into the binary in a form that is easy to
screen-scrape using strings(1). For instance, if the bundled version of
SDL in a game has this, we can see at a glance what version it is.
It's also shorter than using the web address of the origin git
repository and the full git commit sha1.
Also write the computed version into a file ./VERSION in `make dist`
tarballs, so that when we build from a tarball on a system that doesn't
have git available, we still get the version details.
For the Perforce code path in showrev.sh, output the version number
followed by the Perforce revision, in a format reminiscent of
`git describe` (with p instead of g to indicate Perforce).
For the code path with no VCS available at all, put a suffix on the
version number to indicate that this is just a guess (we can't know
whether this SDL version is actually a git snapshot or has been
patched locally or similar).

* Xbox GDK support (14 squashed commits)
* Added basic keyboard testing
* Update readme
* Code review fixes
* Fixed issue where controller add/removal wasn't working (since the device notification events don't work on Xbox, have to use the joystick thread to poll XInput)
