Auto-derive per-commit Debian Version for dev builds

Inject git date + short SHA into the Debian Version field when
Cargo.toml's crate version ends in -dev, so apt-based upgrade
detection works without operator workarounds. Form:
  <base>~dev+git<YYYYMMDD>.<sha>[.dirty]-1
e.g. 0.3.0~dev+git20260429.6def31b-1.

Each commit produces a uniquely-comparable Version, so
`apt install ./*.deb` and `ansible.builtin.apt: deb:` stop
silently no-op'ing when one dev .deb is installed on top of
another. The ~dev marker sorts pre-tagged-release so 0.3.0
supersedes any prior dev .deb. Tagged builds (Cargo.toml without
-dev) keep the clean <version>-1 form. --version override still
wins.

Note: legacy 0.3.0-dev-1 dev installs sort ABOVE the new form;
hosts upgrading from a legacy install will need `dpkg -i` once
on the next dev .deb to bypass apt's downgrade refusal.

- `packaging/debian/build-deb.sh` now auto-derives a per-commit Debian
Version field for dev builds (Cargo.toml version ending in `-dev`)
using the form `<base>~dev+git<YYYYMMDD>.<sha>[.dirty]-1`, e.g.
`0.3.0~dev+git20260429.6def31b-1`. Each commit produces a uniquely-
comparable Version string so `apt install ./*.deb` and
`ansible.builtin.apt: deb:` no longer silently no-op when one dev
build is installed on top of another. The `~dev` marker sorts
pre-`0.3.0` so a tagged release supersedes any prior dev .deb.
Tagged release builds (no `-dev` in Cargo.toml) keep the clean
`<version>-1` form. Operator override via `--version` still wins
