feat: record the version so it can be read without running the server - #2472

Conversation
Make the running build's version recoverable from disk without starting or querying the server. The release binaries are built with -trimpath and packed with UPX, which erases the version from the Go build metadata, so record it in a plain "version" file next to the binary instead. - cli.WriteVersionFile writes the version on startup (covers a binary that has been run at least once), best-effort so a failure never affects startup and only a real version is written - a plain "dev" build has nothing to record. - install.sh / install.ps1 write the resolved release tag at install time (covers a binary installed but not yet run). install.sh mirrors the existing sudo fallback; install.ps1 writes UTF-8 without a BOM. The file lives next to the binary, the same directory the SQLite database uses.
