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.

     5 config LOCAL_TARBALLS_DIR
     6     string
     7     prompt "Local tarballs directory"
     8     default ""
     9     help
    10       If you have previously downloaded the tarballs, enter the PATH where
    11       you stored them here.
    12 
    13 config SAVE_TARBALLS
    14     bool
    15     prompt "Save new tarballs"
    16     default n
    17     depends on LOCAL_TARBALLS_DIR != ""
    18     help
    19       If you say 'y' here, new downloaded tarballs will be saved in the
    20       directory you entered above.
    21 
    22 config WORK_DIR
    23     string
    24     prompt "Working directory"
    25     default "${CT_TOP_DIR}/targets"
    26     help
    27       Set this to the directory where all build actions will be done.
    28       
    29       The default is "${CT_TOP_DIR}/targets", and leaving this option
    30       empty will also use the default.
    31       
    32       You should not need to change that, except in one very peculiar
    33       setup:
    34        - your crosstool-NG source directory is on the network
    35        - you configured crosstool-NG with --local
    36       This kind of setup is a pain, as any action involving source file
    37       access would have to go through the wire. In this case, you should
    38       set CT_WORK_DIR to point to a path local to your machine, to avoid
    39       any network overhead.
    40       
    41       Do *NOT* change it if you don't know better.
    42 
    43 config PREFIX_DIR
    44     string
    45     prompt "Prefix directory"
    46     default "${HOME}/x-tools/${CT_TARGET}"
    47     help
    48       This is the path the toolchain will run from.
    49 
    50 config INSTALL_DIR
    51     string
    52 #    prompt "Install directory"
    53     default "${CT_PREFIX_DIR}"
    54 #    help
    55 #      This is the path the toolchain will be installed into.
    56 #      
    57 #      Normally, you would set this to ${CT_PREFIX_DIR}, but if for some reasons
    58 #      you can't write there, you can install somewhere else and have a third
    59 #      person do the install for you.
    60 #      The reason you might also want to install elsewhere is if you are going
    61 #      to package your shinny new toolchain for distribution.
    62 
    63 config REMOVE_DOCS
    64     bool
    65     prompt "Remove documentation"
    66     default y
    67     help
    68       Remove the installed documentation (man and info pages).
    69       Gains around 8MiB for a uClibc-based, C and C++ compiler.
    70 
    71 config INSTALL_DIR_RO
    72     bool
    73     prompt "Render the toolchain read-only"
    74     default y
    75     help
    76       Render the directory of the toolchain (and its sub-directories)
    77       read-only.
    78       
    79       Usefull for toolchains destined for production.
