**What this PR does / why we need it**:
Recently I met the problem as #56216 described, I download the source-tar of 1.8.5 and run `make` command failed because of invalid ldflag:
`-X k8s.io/kubernetes/pkg/version.gitTreeState=git archive`
Though #56249 has change version string `git archive` to `archive`, i think we should avoid this problem happen again.

**Release note**: NONE
Out tests for features that didn't exist in old golang versions (like
gofmt didn't exist in 1.3 or the linker didn't want an = in 1.4) checked
for the new version. But this means every time there is a new version we
have to update the test. This PR inverts the test. We do it the old way
for the old version and if a new version comes along we just assume it
is going to work the new way.
This PR changes how we version going forward in the following ways:
* mark-new-version.sh is changed to a new policy of just splitting
branches, rather than the old backmerge policy, as discussed in
vX.Y.0, and a tag for vX.(Y+1).0-alpha.0 back to master.
* I eliminated PRs back to master by making the version/base.go
gitVersion and gitCommit just be `export-subst`. I testing that this
works with GitHub's source export tarballs. There's no reason to
bother with forcing the version into `base.go` (especially twice). The
tarball versions outside a git tree aren't perfect (master looks like
"v0.0.0+hash", and the release branches look more accurate), but our
build contract has never allowed that version is perfect in this
situation, so I think we can relax this.
* That master tag gets picked up by "git describe" on master, so e.g.
master would have immediately become v1.1.0-alpha.0
* In order to be more semVer compatible, the gitVersion field for the
master branch now looks something like 1.1.0-alpha.0.6+84c76d1142ea4d.
This is a tiny translation of the "git describe". I did this because
there are a ton of consumers out there of the "gitVersion" field
expecting it to be the full version, but it would be nice if this
field were actually semver compliant. (1.1.0-alpha.0-6-84c76d1142ea4d
is, but it's not *usefully* so.)
Fixes#11495
* Rewrite a bunch of the hack/ directory with modular reusable bash libraries.
* Have 'build/*' build on 'hack/*'. The stuff in build now just runs hack/* in a docker container.
* Use a docker data container to enable faster incremental builds.
* Standardize output to _output/{local,dockerized}/bin/OS/ARCH/*. This regularized placement makes cross compilation work.
* Move travis specific scripts under hack/travis
With new dockerized incremental builds, I can do a no-op `make quick-release` in ~30s. This is a significant improvement.
