Thomas Eizinger 4c30d78cda fix: refer to correct tag in git-version (#6334)
The output of `git describe` always refers to the last tag that it can
find. This leads to confusing versions being printed such as:

```
2024-08-19T00:24:08.983891Z  INFO firezone_headless_client: arch="x86_64" git_version="gateway-1.1.5-30-gf82fee162-modified"
```

Note that this is code running in the headless-client and it refers to
the gateway tag. Whilst not wrong from git's PoV, it is certainly
confusing.

We can fix this by providing a glob-pattern to `git describe` via
`--match`. This makes git ignore any other tags and print a version
identifier that refers to the current program:

```
2024-08-19T00:39:48.634191Z  INFO firezone_headless_client: arch="x86_64" git_version="headless-client-1.1.7-31-ga08a3411d-modified"
```

Rust development guide

Firezone uses Rust for all data plane components. This directory contains the Linux and Windows clients, and low-level networking implementations related to STUN/TURN.

We target the last stable release of Rust using rust-toolchain.toml. If you are using rustup, that is automatically handled for you. Otherwise, ensure you have the latest stable version of Rust installed.

Reading Client logs

The Client logs are written as JSONL for machine-readability.

To make them more human-friendly, pipe them through jq like this:

cd path/to/logs  # e.g. `$HOME/.cache/dev.firezone.client/data/logs` on Linux
cat *.log | jq -r '"\(.time) \(.severity) \(.message)"'

Resulting in, e.g.

2024-04-01T18:25:47.238193266Z INFO GIT_VERSION = 1.0.0-pre.11-35-gcc0d43531
