Show the running Synapse version

Returns the exact Synapse build, for example 1.115.0 (b=develop, abcdef123). Useful when a reverse proxy strips the Server header that normally carries the version. Compare it against the release notes before upgrading. Requires an admin token, unlike the unauthenticated client versions endpoint.
