Add dirty flag to git describe
git describe knows --dirty, which adds -dirty to the verion number if the tree contains uncommited changes. We should add this flag to make it obvious that the COREBOOT_VERSION might be misleading. This is especially important as this version number is now used in the SMBIOS data structures.
