configure.in: use GNUCASH_VERSION in AC_INIT

Honestly, I don't know why Jan did that.  I have no objection
to switching it back to the other way.

Jan, if you're reading this -- is there a reason you did it this way?

This is IMHO a quite convenient way to define the version number and to ensure that it is consistent between the build system and also in the program itself.
