configuration_data() is already available as config_h, so I think we can
use that directly instead of version_data.

I'm not sure I'm keen on tieing this script to require MESON variables.
Would this script need to read .tarball-version if called externally
from meson? Perhaps not...
The script already processes $1 as the build_dir as passed from meson.
The sources are available under $build_dir/sources/ ... so I wonder if
it's cleaner to use that somehow.
But it's probably fine to use the env variables too.
