This PR installs and enables
versioneerto manage version strings in a more automated way.Because Versioneer gathers its version-related information from the local git repo, naturally, it does not support frozen interpreters/installations, so this PR also updates the PyInstaller ".spec" file to write the current version string to a
version.txtfile in theresourcesdir (and modifies__init__.pyto load the version string from that file at startup in the event that the application is running frozen).
