registry image reports "unknown" openshift version about image-registry HOT 4 CLOSED

the kubernetes version output is also messed up:
kubernetes_version=v1.7.6+$Format:%h$

at a minimum the "Format" shouldn't be there (should be a git commit).

from image-registry.

That is expected output, we need to remove dependencies on origin and I'm going to remove this fields at all, because they are for origin. What do you expect to see there?

Well i think we need to discuss as an org what we expect (should the image-registry report a consistent version like "v3.9" itself? if so, should it get that value from a common location rather than each repo having to maintain/bump the version itself?)

But at a minimum i'd expect/want the git commit that was used to build the image.

So openshift_registry_version=vX.Y+commitid is what i'd expect/want.

Where the source of X.Y is TBD.

@smarterclayton what's the plan for providing common version numbers to different components like this? Is the build tooling supposed to handle it for us? Some other mechanism?
