 Should metrics web sites (metrics.tp.o, collector.tp.o, onionoo.tp.o)
 display currently running version?

 For example, the two recent releases of Onionoo and CollecTor contained
 important fixes and for Onionoo a protocol change.  The fix for collector
 was about the quaity of exit-list descriptors.  A version information
 about the software running placed in some prominent place on the
 respective web sites would be helpful for users to determine, if fixes are
 running on the mirror.

 1) Where should the version info be placed?
 2) How to automate this?  (Somewhere in the build, maybe include the
 version from a textfile generated when packaging ...)
