This makes `VERSION` updating a bit more robust (the file gets only
updated if its content would actually change), as well as moving the
dependency of `VERSION` and `GIT_COMMIT_ID` to the `sdist-ghc-prep`
target, as that's where it's actually needed.

This fixes the specialised target `make sdist-ghc` not properly
creating/updating the `VERSION` and `GIT_COMMIT_ID` files before
creating the ghc source-dist tarball, as well as avoiding stale
`VERSION` files.
