Stamp HEAD as 10devel.
This is a good bit more complicated than the average new-version stamping
commit, because it includes various adjustments in pursuit of changing
from three-part to two-part version numbers. It's likely some further
work will be needed around that change; but this is enough to get through
the regression tests, at least in Unix builds.
