Add `verdi storage version|status`

[danielhollas]

For your use case [in AiiDAlab container deployment], I imagine it would be even better if there would simply be an endpoint that would check whether the storage is up to date or needs migrating. I think we could either add this to verdi storage version and have it actually validate the storage and return a specific exit code if it needs to be migrated, or we could add verdi storage status or something like that. These commands wouldn't have to check whether the daemon is running so could be made faster.

@sphuber I like the idea of a new command instead of adding an extra logic to verdi storage migrate. Do you think this is something that could get into a patch release so that @superstar54 et al could you it for the QeApp demo server?

I think this might cut around 1.5s from the container startup (i.e. 10%). cc @giovannipizzi

Could do yeah

Wait, is that a British "could do"? :thinking: :smile:

Haha 😄 nah, I am way too Dutch and direct for that to be a subtle refusal
