Stamp the MobilityDB source commit into meos-idl.json#50

Conversation
Record the MobilityDB commit the catalog was derived from as a top-level `sourceCommit` field, so the catalog is self-describing about its freshness. A consumer (a binding, or a staleness gate) proves the artifact is current by comparing sourceCommit to live upstream master, rather than inspecting whatever directory a vendored copy happens to sit in — a proxy that is blind to a catalog vendored inside an unrelated binding repository. Resolved from the git checkout that provided the source; null when the source is not a git checkout (e.g. a release tarball), in which case freshness is treated as unprovable — the correct safe default.

Records the MobilityDB commit the catalog is derived from as a top-level
sourceCommitfield, making the catalog self-describing about its freshness.A consumer — a binding, or a staleness check — proves the catalog is current by comparing
sourceCommitto live upstream master, rather than inferring freshness from whatever directory a vendored copy sits in. That directory proxy is structurally blind to a catalog vendored inside an unrelated binding repository, whose git HEAD is independent of the catalog's generation.sourceCommitresolves from the git working tree that provides the source headers, and isnullwhen the source is not a git working tree (e.g. a release tarball) — freshness is then unprovable, the correct safe default.The change is additive: it introduces one top-level key and alters no existing field or schema.
