Bug Description

When building snaps from git or other cvs, it might be annoying to update the human-readable version all the times, especially when you use launchpad or other services to do automatic builds.

So, version parameter should support some way to get a dynamic part to append to the base version, so that there's some better meaning than store revisions.

summary: - snapcraft.yaml version should allow a scriptable part
+ snapcraft.yaml version should allow a (dynamic) scriptable part
