Give more info in `web3_clientVersion`, particularly the commit hash

[sslivkoff]

Describe the feature

For the web3_clientVersion rpc method:

• erigon outputs erigon/2.43.0/linux-amd64/go1.20.3
• reth outputs reth/v0.1.0/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

For reth it would be nice to include more info. Including a commit hash prefix would be extremely helpful, particularly since reth is under active development.

Getting fancy could maybe also include abbreviations of major compile flags or runtime cli args

Additional context

No response

Down to tackle this if i can have some more information.

[mattsse]

I'm actually not sure about the commit hash, not sure we want to leak that. This usually mirrors the client version used in p2p

[gakonst]

Yes on same as p2p

[sslivkoff]

how about leaking the commit when it's not a tagged commit? that would be useful for dev situations but then only give tagged version # for most users
