wsk CLI needs a flag to query its version

@uwefassnacht commented on [Tue Apr 25 2017](https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk/issues/2178)

How do I know which version of the CLI I have installed? And whether it's the latest & greatest one? How do I know when to update (re-install) the CLI?

It would be good to provide a `-v` flag (similar to the cloud foundry CLI) that outputs the version. I realize that `-v`is already taken (verbose option).

At the very least, the CLI "splash screen" (displayed when using `wsk` without any options) should display a version number.

It's also not clear from the CLI repo at https://openwhisk.ng.bluemix.net/cli/go/download what the current version is and whether it's time to update.

`wsk property get --cliversion`

probably duplicate of https://github.com/openwhisk/openwhisk/issues/1492

@houshengbo @pritidesai as part of making the JSON object available advertising the CLIs versions, it would be nice to address the comment above: the link to a binary should carry version information.

Of course, we don't have a proper version yet or release tag (#1880).
@csantanapr I think we need one epic to track all the related CLI issues for versioning, the download page, etc.

It would also be nice if we could try to expose this info through the CLI page on the download button or near it.

@eweiter, @houshengbo, we should be able to expose the CLI version to the UI via the content.json file.

Beginne damit, das bestehende Verhalten von `wsk property get --cliversion` und das zugehörige Issue 1492 zu prüfen. Sieh dir die offenen Fragen zur Versionierung und zur Download-Seite an, bevor du den Umfang festlegst; die Arbeit ist erst abgeschlossen, wenn die vereinbarte Anzeige der CLI-Version und die Distributionsinformationen definiert und implementiert sind.
