Feature request: Include the current package version

Hi there!

Thanks again for your great work.
It would be really helpful if the distributed package could please have the current version numbers in them please!

I maintain a pipeline that runs SignalP6 (https://github.com/ccdmb/predector), and i've been getting bug reports from people.
It would be helpful to know exactly which version of signalp 6 is actually installed, so that I know whether to report a new bug to you or ask them to update.

It also helps me to cache pre-computed results, and automatically skip repeated analysis if an identical version has been run before.

Currently the -h --help flag lists usage: SignalP 6.0 Signal peptide prediction tool [-h] --fastafile FASTAFILE.
And setup.py lists version='1.0'.

It would be helpful if you could tag the full version info e.g. 6.0e in these places.
Or a special --version flag is becoming more common.

I use the bump2version to do this automatically with a git tag for me.

I know this is pretty low priority so feel absolutely free to say no.
It would just be helpful.

Thanks and all the best,

Darcy
