Subject: [PATCH] DIR-4: let release-please own the version constant

--version reported 0.1.0 while the released tag was v0.2.0, and the banner
showed the same stale number. The repo releases with release-please's simple
strategy, which rewrites versions only on lines carrying an
x-release-please-version annotation, and only in files listed under
extra-files. VERSION= had neither, so it never moved after 0.1.0 and drifted
further with every release.

Annotate the constant and declare the script as an extra file, so the version
is owned by the release process rather than maintained by hand. Set it to the
currently released 0.2.0; the pending release PR now carries it to the version
being released.
