ask git to store version information in tarballs

[mjuric]

The added lines make git(hub) add a file named .git_archival.txt into tarballs it enerated for tags that have the following format:

$ cat .git_archival.txt
node: 3cd27f3
node-date: 2023-10-04T12:53:16-07:00
describe-name: v0.6.1
ref-names: HEAD -> main, tag: v0.6.1

(the above is for v0.6.1 tag).

This allows setuptools-scm to deduce the version number, allowing us to build from exported tarballs (which is how conda packages fetch their source).
