[Bug 1415147] [NEW] 'grub-install -v' does not provide version info

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

grub-install -v should provide version info. The --version flag works
fine, but the help indicates that the short -v should also do the same
thing.

Found on Amazon EC2 instance running ubuntu-
trusty-14.04-amd64-server-20140416.1.manifest.xml (ami-1f958c76).

ubuntu:~$ grub-install -v
