Refactor info command and rename to version

Previously the `info` command printed more detailed application
information compared to the compact and machine-friendly `--version`
global flag. The name of command was not optimal as it could give the
impression that it provides more "info"rmation about one or more
snowblocks that might be passed as argument(s). Therefore the command
has been renamed to `version` which also matches the naming of many
other Go CLI apps like Kubernetes [1] `kubectl` [2].

To also enhance the provided information the command now prints more
application version details using the function implemented in GH-93.
