Make it easier to know which version of the gamelogic is running #405

It is difficult to know which version of the gamelogic you are running and it often leads to bugs which are difficult to understand for users (and devs too, I had EU run under 0.29 instead of 0.30 for a week). Some small improvements would make that problem go away:

Then users and server operators won't be able to miss version problems.

ds already does this in his webbased browser. Perhaps we can borrow his technique.

This would be useful. Detecting server versions would help avoid issues like #442

We have several mechanisms to deal with API versions, all of which we are not making use of...
