Give Effector a version and a changelog, shown from the menu

Browse Source 
The version is the project() line of CMakeLists.txt and nowhere else:
CMake writes it, with the text of CHANGELOG.md, into a generated
core/version.hpp, so the number and the release notes the binary shows
are the ones it was built from. effector --version (-V) prints it, and
the header-bar menu gains a section with Changelog, a window laying the
Markdown out as headings and bullets, and About Effector.

The core tests hold the newest changelog entry to the current version,
so a bump cannot go in without its notes. Releases are tagged vX.Y.Z;
this is 0.5.0, and the changelog reconstructs 0.1.0-0.4.0 from the
history.
