Rollup merge of #111770 - liushuyu:ubuntu/beta-rev-no-git, r=ozkanonur

Read beta version from the version file if building from a source tarball

This pull request changes the `bootstrap` behaviour so that when building `rustc` from a source tarball, the beta revision number is correctly read from the `version` file instead of erroring out by invoking `git`.

The `version` file is observed to only exist in the official source tarball and has the following format:

```
1.70.0-beta.4 (2013813b6 2023-05-07)
```
