populate default Build version if missing (#1386)

* populate default Build version if missing

Use the Go module information built into the binary if the Build var
wasn't set during the build.

This means if you install via a specific tag, you get:

    go install github.com/slackhq/nebula/cmd/[email protected]

    $ nebula -version
    Version: 1.9.5

And if you install master, you get:

    go install github.com/slackhq/nebula/cmd/nebula@master

    $ nebula -version
    Version: 1.9.5-0.20250408154034-18279ed17b10

* also default in the library

* cleanup
