make `-v` print version string the same as `--version` #30

Currently -v doesn't work if we enable version string.

I just tried this on the official docopt version (https://github.com/docopt/docopt.git) and it does not have this behavior. In some ways it makes sense -- although '-v' is sometimes used as a "verbose" flag as well, so this could break things.

We try to maintain behavior parity with the official version, so unless that one changes, we cant make this change in the cpp version. You can suggest this patch there and if accepted there, we can merge it here too.
