build: add V8 embedder version string

targos · targos · commit 4c0a7d845ecf · 2017-10-05T20:14:21.000+02:00
After this commit, `process.versions.v8` will look like: "6.0.287.53-node.0". The goal is that everytime we apply a non-official patch to `deps/v8`, we increment our own number instead of V8's patch level. This number must be set back to 0 after major V8 updates. Closes: #15698
