Add possibility to ask for libbenchmark version number (#1004) (#1403)
* Add possibility to ask for libbenchmark version number (#1004)

Add a header which holds the current major, minor, and
patch number of the library. The header is auto generated
by CMake.

* Do not generate unused functions (#1004)

* Add support for version number in bazel (#1004)

* Fix clang format #1004

* Fix more clang format problems (#1004)

* Use git version feature of cmake to determine current lib version

* Rename version_config header to version

* Bake git version into bazel build

* Use same input config header as in cmake for version.h

* Adapt the releasing.md to include versioning in bazel

Statistics: add support for percentage unit in addition to time (#1219)
* Statistics: add support for percentage unit in addition to time

I think, `stddev` statistic is useful, but confusing.

What does it mean if `stddev` of `1ms` is reported?
Is that good or bad? If the `median` is `1s`,
then that means that the measurements are pretty noise-less.

And what about `stddev` of `100ms` is reported?
If the `median` is `1s` - awful, if the `median` is `10s` - good.

And hurray, there is just the statistic that we need:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient_of_variation

But, naturally, that produces a value in percents,
but the statistics are currently hardcoded to produce time.

So this refactors thinkgs a bit, and allows a percentage unit for statistics.

I'm not sure whether or not `benchmark` would be okay
with adding this `RSD` statistic by default,
but regales, that is a separate patch.
