version numbers towards kf6

[Jos van den Oever]

The new versions of frameworks, plasma and gear presumably all start 
with '6'. Following Fedora versioning for snapshots [0] gives this:

  6^20230627git5328c27e3

Having the commit date and the git revision in there helps with bug reports.

But this disregards the context (build options, versions of other packages).

The version number in CMakeLists.txt determines what users see in the 
about box and that is still e.g.
   set(PROJECT_VERSION "5.27.80")
   set(PROJECT_VERSION_MAJOR 5)

CMake has no support for ^ or ~ with version suffixes [1].

Best regards,
Jos
