Add a <meta name="generator"> tag with the Mahara major version number

Bug 1384497. This also adds a new $config->series to lib/version.php,
which stores the major version (or as we sometimes call it, "the series")
of the current release. It seemed better to store this separately rather
than to try to parse it from $config->release, because we may change
our release numbering strategy in the future.

Bug description:
  We purposefully chose *not* to display the Mahara minor version number
  on the bottom of the page, as part of the general security practice of
  not giving out unnecessary information. (That said, we may
  accidentally leak it in some places.)

  It'd be useful to know the Mahara *major* version, though, when
  looking at a site. And since this is easy to detect due to the
  addition of new features in each major release, it would not have any
  security ramifications.
