[C++] Make git-dependent definitions internal

Exposing the ARROW_GIT_ID and ARROW_GIT_DESCRIPTION preprocessor variables in our public headers tends to make incremental builds less efficient, since those values change very often during development.

Also, these values don't need to be preprocessor variables since they're just strings: you can't write useful `#if` directives with them. Instead, they can be inspected using `GetBuildInfo()`.
