Improve `--version` strings

[eabase]

Hi,

First of all thank you for having maintained this super useful tool, for more than a decade! 🥇 💯

Cygwin have been my main Windows terminal for at least 2 decades, or at least 1 click away.

apt-cyg has been perfect since you started this repo. Thank you!

I now very rarely check this tool, but I wan't to keep it up-to-date, as you never known when you need something quickly. Therefore it would be useful to get some better info in the --version output.

• Add your own versioning (or date?)
• Maybe indicate if installed version has an update?
• Add the full https:// to this repo (to make it clickable in Windows Terminal)
• Add your own licensing terms (MIT)

# apt-cyg --version

Thank you for your suggestion.

These features are already implemented. If your apt-cyg is managed by git, you can get origin and commit of your apt-cyg as:

$ apt-cyg --version
kou1okada/apt-cyg
forked from transcode-open/apt-cyg
origin: https://github.com/kou1okada/apt-cyg.git
commit: 2023-07-24 13:55:33 +0900 0b27526 (HEAD -> master)

It's worth considering. Currently I'm not implementing any support for this case. But we you can get origin's latest commit as:

$ apt-cyg --version | awk '$1=="origin:"&&$0=$2' | (read; [ -n "$REPLY" ] && curl -Ls "$REPLY" | sed -nE 's/.*"currentOid":"([0-9a-z]*)".*/\1/p')
421c2a0ede60b63a5807d04930660dc419a38753

In this case, local apt-cyg is 0b27526 and origin's latest apt-cyg is 421c2a0, so it seems upgradable.

I'll consider adding this version check feature to my apt-cyg --version.

And in tnis situation, if you want to upgrade to 421c2a0, you just call upgrade-self sub-command as:

$ apt-cyg upgrade-self

Hmm, it's not bad. I'll consider it later.

Thanks.
