Report version number to Sphinx

[minchinweb]

In particular, the version number will show up in the Sphinx log. So instead of:

# Sphinx version: 1.3
[...]
# Loaded extensions:
#   alabaster (0.7.9) from c:\tmp\releases-multiple\env\lib\site-packages\alabaster\__init__.py
#   releases (unknown version) from c:\tmp\releases-multiple\env\lib\site-packages\releases\__init__.py
[...]

you get:

# Sphinx version: 1.3
[...]
# Loaded extensions:
#   alabaster (0.7.9) from c:\tmp\releases-multiple\env\lib\site-packages\alabaster\__init__.py
#   releases (1.2.1) from c:\tmp\releases-multiple\env\lib\site-packages\releases\__init__.py
[...]

Thanks! Would you believe I've been working with Sphinx and sphinx extensions for years and had no idea this was a thing? 🙃

It makes you wonder what other little, but useful, features are hiding just under the surface...

Hilariously, now that I revisit this I see somebody must have introduced me to this Sphinx feature in passing beforehand, because...it's in Alabaster too... 🙃
