 Use autoconf to generate version numbers for libiserv and friends

 Summary:
 Currently, the version numbers for `libiserv`, `iserv`, and
 `iserv-proxy` are hard-coded directly into their `.cabal` files.
 These are easy to forget to update, and in fact, this has already
 happened once (see #15866). Let's use `autoconf` to do this for us
 so that it is not forgotten in the future.
