Description

when you type streamlink-twitch-gui --version it shows nwjs 120.0.6099.129

streamlink-twitch-gui -v or something like that should show 2.5.2 or 2.5.2 nwjs 120.0.6099.129

--version, similar to --help, is part of NW.js/Chromium, which is interpreted before any application code is loaded and executed, as well as any Chromium-relevant code itself. There is no way for application logic to work around that because it's interpreted right at the beginning when launching NW.js/Chromium.

Something could be added to print the version when using the -- --version arguments (two leading dashes)

but I don't think this is very useful, because it launches the entire application, just in order to read the version string from the manifest JSON.
