Description

I am using the amazon-ecr-credential-helper, which leverages docker-credential-helpers/credentials. When I run amazon-ecr-credential-helper version it reports 0.6.3 (the version of this library) instead of its own version (0.4.0), which is very confusing. I think it would be helpful to allow the Helper implementation to also include a Version() string method that, if implemented, is printed by the version command instead.

Research direction

Start by locating the version command and the Helper implementation in docker-credential-helpers. Review how the command currently reports the library version, then verify that an implemented Version() string is reported as the helper version while existing helpers remain supported.
