The iputils build system embeds git tags into the generated binaries
for use by commands like ping -V. Since openwrt packaging is done in
a different repository from the upstream repo, the tags it finds
aren't particularly meaningful, and we get confusing results like
those described at https://github.com/openwrt/packages/issues/13920
This change removes the git tag inspection in favor of the static
version string that's already known to the upstream build system.

Per discussion in https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/1804, iputils is
moving from the main openwrt repository to the packages feed, and is switching
from the abandoned skbuff.net upstream to github.com/iputils/iputils
