added version command + api endpoint

[kevinpapst]

Fixes #320

Adds new API endpoint /api/version with example output:

{
    "version": 0.5,
    "candidate": "dev",
    "semver": "0.5-dev",
    "name": "version-name",
    "copyright": "Kimai 2 - 0.5 dev (version-name) by Kevin Papst and contributors."
}

Adds new command bin/console kimai:version with options:

• --name
• --status
• --short

With example outputs:

$ bin/console kimai:version
Kimai 2 - 0.5 dev (version-name) by Kevin Papst and contributors.

$ bin/console kimai:version --short
0.5

$ bin/console kimai:version --candidate
dev

$ bin/console kimai:version --semver
0.5-dev

$ bin/console kimai:version --name
version-name

ping @anmol26s / @bastilimbach maybe interesting for you?

I just tested the API. Works flawlessly 👍 Maybe you could change the type of version to a Float or Double instead of a String.

[bastilimbach]

This would of course limit version names to numbers. So a 0.5-rc version wouldn't be possible but the API clients could test the version using the greater than the operator if Kimai2 would avoid using these types of version declaration.

[kevinpapst]

The -rc would never be included in the version field, only in status.
You can definitely rely on casting the value and comparing it.

What I will do:

• think about changing it to float
• renaming status to candidate or something else which fits better

[bastilimbach]

Ok. I'll cast it myself for now 👍

@bastilimbach updated API - see adjusted examples in the initial comment. will merge it tomorrow.
