bzr --version should also report plugin versions (bzrlib ...)

I could see putting that into 'bzr plugins', I wouldn't really do it for 'bzr
- --version' though.

I realize I'm probably not typical, but I have 9 plugins installed right now,
and 39 more in my "DEACTIVATED" folder, because I don't use them as often.

Also, many plugins don't provide a version number. But I think it would be
reasonable for 'bzr plugins' to list a version number if it can find one.
