Conversation
Set APP_VERSION (CFBundleShortVersionString, shown in the About window)
and APP_BUILD (CFBundleVersion) in a project's config.make or on the
make command line; defaults 1.0 and 1. The version was hardcoded to 1.0,
and CFBundleVersion was left as the literal ${CURRENT_PROJECT_VERSION}.
Based on openframeworks#3394.

Same names as the makefiles' config.make (openframeworks#8592): APP_VERSION sets CFBundleShortVersionString (default: project(... VERSION), else 1.0) and APP_BUILD sets CFBundleVersion (default 1), also as Xcode's MARKETING_VERSION / CURRENT_PROJECT_VERSION. Based on openframeworks#3394.

Brings back the idea from #3394 by @vdonnefort (2014): set a macOS app's version from the project's
config.make. The files that PR changed have since been rewritten, so this re-implements it on the current makefiles; Vincent is credited as co-author.Change
