Access to openHAB version for client APPs

[GoogleCodeExporter]

In some cases it is important to know version of openHAB which client app 
connects to. It can be used to determine compatibility cause as soon as more 
people will use openHAB and as soon as more people use client apps, it can be a 
serious issue. On the other side, client app can then compare running openHAB 
version with latest version identifier from openhab.org and give the user a 
warning about upgrade (I'm not looking into log files at every launch :-). It 
can be done the same simple way as it was for uuid - /static/version, or can be 
implemented in REST API.
