Thomas De Schampheleire 5b59dc0354 support/scripts/setlocalversion: fix/improve Mercurial output
Commit 9e4ffdc8cf modified the output of
'setlocalversion' so that the Buildroot version tag is included in the
output, the version part was added in Makefile.

Due to differences in behavior of the used git and Mercurial commands, this
caused different output for the Mercurial case, in BR2_VERSION_FULL and thus
/etc/os-release and 'make print-version'. Assuming the official Buildroot
releases are tagged and no project-specific tags are present, the output
after commit 9e4ffdc8cf is:
    -hg<commit>
whereas it is expected to be something like:
    2020.02.6-hg<commit>

Change the Mercurial case in setlocalversion to behave similar to git,
looking up the latest tag if the current revision is not itself tagged.

The number of commits after the latest tag is not added, unlike in git, as
this value is not commonly present in Mercurial output, and its added value
can be disputed in this context. Even one commit could bring a huge change
to the sources, so in order to interpret the number one has to look at the
repository anyhow, in which case the commit ID can just be used.

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded
Linux systems through cross-compilation.

The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text
document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text.
Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html

To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following:

1) run 'make menuconfig'
2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile
3) run 'make'
4) wait while it compiles
5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images

You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot.  Have fun!

Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run
'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations.

Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the
buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org
You can also find us on #buildroot on Freenode IRC.
