    src/utils/lookbib/lookbib.cpp: Fix version string.

            * src/utils/lookbib/lookbib.cpp: Doesn't make much sense to mark
            Version_string as a C extern if you're just going to hide it in
            a throwaway scope again.  Remove braces, exposing it.

            Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?54972>.

$ ./build/lookbib -v
GNU lookbib (groff) version (null)


Well, that's not good. (groff 1.22.3 does this, too.)

Fortunately I've identified a fix.
