When building custom `node` versions (e.g., floating features/fixes from
different versions) it's often useful to specify a custom tag which
easily identifies build when invoking `node -v`.
Introduce a way to specify this tag in `node_version.h` file or by
running `./configure --tag="<tag>"`. Insert it right after the patch
version (and before `-pre`, if build is not a release).
Closes#4452.
