chore(release): generate version.json in CI, fall back to git at runtime (#1070)

The hand-edited web/configs/version.json went stale between releases.
The release workflow now writes it with the tag and short SHA before
zipping the webpanel, and web/init.php falls back to `git describe
--tags --always` via shell_exec for dev clones, then N/A if git is
unavailable.
