For those who were actually paying attention (not me), there is
an obvious mistake in the version number.

For my penance, I'll explain how it happened:
I use a set of python scripts to do most of the grunt work.
The purpose is to make sure everything gets done without anything
falling through the cracks; and by doing most of it automatically,
I reduce the changes for errors. The scripts are configured via
a small yaml file. Normally, I'd just put write the version number
and done, but "7.9" looking like a float, I have to say "!!str 7.9"
instead. Except that I forgot the two leading "!!".

The scripts show me the diff before pushing, and asks me to confirm.
But I was sleeping at the wheel. Fortunately, I caught it slightly
later on. Attached is the patch that fixes the issue.

gdb/ChangeLog:

        * version.in: Change to "7.9" instead of "str 7.9".
