Propogate build information to apps

Background

A consistent problem in our development process is that we are juggling many different versions of our system, including the runtime, types library and so on. It is very easy for someone who is testing a deployment of an app, like Pioneer or Atlas, to lose track of which version of the system they are currently using, and this makes it hard to accurately report errors and debug problems. This is further compounded by certain app features where the user can override and point to what full node and query node to use, and so on.

Proposal

Build in some rich information bout the state of the system, possibly extending well beyond the runtime, and including things like commits used, dependencies, into the metadata of the runtime, and possibly also into Pioneer itself. This is sort of a vague proposition, since I don't have sufficient information, but its pretty clear that some sort of artefacts from the build+deployment process shuold be embedded directly in the apps/system.
