Subject: Keep the version numbers off the pages

The generator meta, the footer and the patch signature named the exact
cgit and git versions on every response, which only helps someone
matching a site against an advisory. The shipped server configs
already hide the server's own version for the same reason, and
`cgit --version` still answers on the host.
