bug_report doesn't show the version of gnuplot and the gnuplot window doesn't include it.

This command works:

plot2d(x,[x,0,1],[gnuplot_preamble,"show version"])

but surely we don't expect users to figure that out.

I suggest that bug report include the gnuplot version, even if that means calling out to gnuplot.

Yeah, putting the Gnuplot version into build_info makes sense. I find that system(sconcat(gnuplot_command, " --version")) outputs a nice short string (gnuplot 5.4 patchlevel 1 on my system) which is great. However, it appears to be written to stderr instead of stdout so with_stdout doesn't capture. Not sure what to do there.
