Description
**What would you like to be added**:
we could toy with changing the version to be in the format of v0.0.0-- if we could derive the date correctly from the build info (which I'm not certain is possible). This would make it consistent to go module version formatting.
**Why is this needed**:
Main module could offer better version info in a similar go.mod version format.
**Additional context**:
Idea came up while adding support to go1.18 debug BuildInfo
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by investigating Go 1.18 debug.BuildInfo and Go module version formatting, focusing on whether the build info exposes a usable commit date. Done when the main module’s version follows the proposed v0.0.0-- format for the binary cataloger.
