feat(cmd): add --version flag - #44
Merged

Conversation
`withings-export --version` errored with `unknown flag` — the binary had no build-time version to print. Set cobra's rootCmd.Version (which registers --version/-v for free) from a package var, and inject the tag at release time via goreleaser ldflags. Unbuilt/dev builds report "dev". New minor flag, no behavior change to any existing command.

Problem
withings-export --versionerrors withunknown flag: --version. The binary carried no build-time version string, so there was nothing to print. (Noted pre-release across all three CLIs — withings is first to fix it.)Change
rootCmd.Versionfrom a package varversion(default"dev"). Cobra registers--version(and-v) automatically onceVersionis non-empty — no custom subcommand.ldflags:-X …/cmd.version=v{{ .Version }}.Test
Manual, both paths (a build-tag injection isn't worth a unit test that would just exercise cobra):
