If we put the psql version in the welcome screen, half of this argument is
obsolete. And select version() is rather common knowledge. Rather than
creating new ways to invoke the same functionality that only differ in the
number of keystrokes, let's do something genuinely better, such as issuing
a warning if the versions mismatch.
