The way Driver Version is queried in print_diagnostic_information will not work if only driver runtime is installed

Description of issue

driver_version is queried in print_diagnostic_information by looking at the value of HKLM\SOFTWARE\National Instruments\<DriverName>\CurrentVersion regkey.

This regkey is not part of runtime installer, but rather part of full installer. We should update the logic to get the version of driver runtime and also update the wording to make it clear that the info is for the driver runtime.

#1205 is a related issue. Both should be fixed together.

We could get the version of the installed driver by calling nipkg.exe on Windows or yum on RedHat.
