Add build info resolution and version display in help overlay - #11

The version was only reachable via --version and --doctor, never from inside the form. The F1/? overlay now shows it right-aligned on the title line, and -h prints it above the usage. Builds without the goreleaser ldflags reported a bare "dev". The version, commit and date are now backfilled from the Go build info: a tagged go install gets its module version, a local build gets its VCS commit (with -dirty). Pseudo-versions keep "dev" so the update check does not nag local builds and the metadata cache is not invalidated on every commit.

Summary
This PR enhances version information handling by automatically resolving build metadata from Go's build info when release ldflags are not set, and displays the version in the help overlay for better visibility during bug reports.
Key Changes
New
buildinfo.gomodule: ImplementsfillBuildInfo()andresolveBuildInfo()functions that intelligently extract version, commit hash, and build date from Go's runtime build infogo install @vX.Y.Z, and localgo buildin git checkouts-dirtysuffix to commit hashesVersion string formatting: Extracted version display logic into
versionString()function with consistent format:"azform X.Y.Z (commit, date)"Help overlay enhancement: Displays version information right-aligned on the help title line, making it immediately visible when users open the help overlay (the natural place to look for version info when filing bug reports)
Integration:
