#2748 new task

move to Versioneer for git-based version-string generation

Description

(I thought we had this ticketed already, but couldn't find it just now)

We have code in setup.py to run git describe to figure out what version string to use. This allows us to make a release by doing "git tag", without needing to manually update a file each time.

I wrote a system called ​Versioneer to do this. It works under py2 and py3, and handles git checkouts, sdist tarballs, setup.py install, git archive tarballs, and more.

We should remove our custom setup.py code and switch to Versioneer.
