[JENKINS-72688] "This node is offline because it uses an old agent.jar" error is misleading

Hi,

The text "This node is offline because it uses an old" is misleading since the actual code is looking for the exact match, thus, the error should be "This node is offline because version needed is ". of course should be version we compared to, usually the built-in version

 

Jenkins version: 2.332.3

versioncolumn-plugin: 2.2
