feature request: add -v and --version flags

[Cerchie]

Currently, running kcat with these flags results in:

❯ kcat -v
% Auto-selecting Consumer mode (use -P or -C to override)
Error: -t <topic> missing

and

❯ kcat --version
Error: unknown argument

would be good to get the version number with these, e.g.,

❯ kcat --version
kcat VERSION_NUMBER

There's -V for showing the version. -v is for increasing verbosity. Den tis 21 feb. 2023 kl 16:43 skrev Lucia Cerchie ***@***.***

Thanks for the clarification! What are the thoughts on --version or -version?
