Using a four-segment version (major.minor.patch.build) is causing issues
on Windows, because it tends to ignore the fourth version number in most
cases. This can cause upgrades to fail and/or multiple entries being
created in the installed applications list.
For this reason, this commit changes the version format to be
major.minor.build.
Fixes #4921

The build number can be specified through the new "BUILD_NUMBER" variable.
This change is very important on Windows, for two reasons:
- It allows to easily identify binaries simply by looking at their version.
More specifically, we can guess what build they're part of.
- Right now snapshots can not be updated without uninstalling first, because the version is the same (i.e. 1.4.0).
By increasing the 4th digit of the version for every build we can solve the issue.
This commit also takes care of renaming a few variables so that they're consistent and also clearer.
For example, "version" is now "RELEASE_ID".

Instead of having to change the version number and the build year in all
those files manually, we let cmake do the work by replacing the
respective values in templates.
