configure: do not require hg when configuring in an hg clone

When configuring in an hg clone, we need hg to compute the version string.
It can happen that users do not have Mercurial (eg. if they got a snapshot
rather that they did a full clone). In this case, we can still run, of
course, so simply fill the version string with a sufficiently explicit
value, that does not require hg. The date is a good candidate.

# Bare metal config options

config KERNEL_bare_metal

    select BARE_METAL

    help

      'Bare metal' refers to those programs that run without any kernel.

      You probably want to say 'y' here if you plan to use your compiler

      to build bootloaders. It is not yet suitable to build Linux kernels,

      though, because the APCI stuff relies on the target C library headers

      being available?!?!...
