git_version_string is declared in builtins.h, but lived in git.c. When diff.c starts to use functions from help.c, linking against libgit.a will fail, unless git.o containing git_version_string is linked too. This variable is only used in a couple of places, help.c being one of them. git.o is biggish, so it let's move git_version_string to help.c.
