Move static EZSP version to non-static property in Zigbee Dongle EZSP
This PR is very important when working with multiple NCPs and therefore multiple network managers. The fact that the EZSP version is stored in a static property makes it shared by all network managers and can cause various issues (like not being able to manage NCPs with pre-v8 and v8 versions).
The changes have been tested.

I would also add that these changes have been heavily tested in a production environnement with dozens of Ember NCPs and thousands of ZigBee devices. In the future, we will probably have to deal with Ember NCPs of different versions and the actual library code will not allow that since we use the library in one application that manages all these NCPs.

I really wish I'd added a version tag to each method in the XML definition so that we could manage different versions better. However Silabs don't really provide this information in an easy format - we'd have to sift through the different versions of UG100... Still it could be done where the API has changed.
@mikomarrache May I suggest that you also check out the somewhat indirectly related discussion/request here -> https://github.com/zsmartsystems/com.zsmartsystems.zigbee/issues/1332
