Add version generation and display

The control center version includes versions of the bundled ndn-cxx,
NFD, and ndn-tools.  The implementation is a bit hacky and most of the
the logic should be moved to the build script eventually.

NFD Control Center

NFD Control Center is a helper application to manager local instance of NFD. In addition to that, on macOS NFD Control Center also bundles an internal version of NFD.

Notes

As of November 14, 2016, to successfully build the macOS app bundle with HomeBrew version of QT libraries, it is necessary to apply the following patch to HomeBrew formula and build qt5 from source (brew install qt5 --build-from-source):

The code cannot be compiled with the official version of QT libraries, as they are currently missing .pc file for pkg-config detection of libraries. This relates to the upstream QT commit that disabled generation of .pc file. HomeBrew partially reverts this commit in a patch.
