make: Remove printing the version from Makefile
Changelog-None: Fixes error from `tools/check-release.sh`
What changed, and why it matters
This is a tiny build-script fix. The release-checking script now takes only the last line of the `make version` command when comparing versions, and prints slightly more detailed error messages. It has no security relevance.
No security action needed; this is a routine build/release tooling fix.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The patch modifies tools/check-release.sh to pipe make version through tail -n 1 so that only the final line is captured as MAKE_VERSION. It also improves the mismatch error message by including the actual and expected version strings. There are no code, cryptographic, network, or permission changes.
