Is VERSION file necessary?

Follow up from #321 (comment)

Do we still need the VERSION file? If not, lets remove it.

Not a blocker for 1.0

so....if we remove the version file, where do we maintain a record of the current version? I had the notion that folks might consume VERSION in their build scripting, given that protobuf doesn't define it.

If we were to come up with some solution for #170 then I'd agree that this file is unnecessary, but until then, I think if we get rid of it, we'd be forcing everyone to manually define the CSI version they are using, which seems a bid shady to me.

I think version can be derived from the tag (e.g., v0.3.0, or v1.0.0, etc.) for releases?
