This PR enables polling for the BBB version of registered servers (if they reveal it) and shows the result in all relevant outputs.
Description
When managing SL deployments with large server pools, it comes in handy to easily see which servers are running which version, directly from Scalelite. This is obviously useful in upgrade scenarios, but would also be handy when using the new server tags to differentiate between versions.
Of course administrators can achieve something similar by leveraging SSH + Bash scripting, but maybe not all admin want to expose their servers that way or put in the extra effort to write the scripts.
This feature was requested twice #793 #1021 .
TODO:
Testing Steps
Deployed with at least two BBB servers and only one revealed the version (see below).

Other notes
Since this feature is only useful when one actively enables the corresponding setting in BBB, I thought about hiding it behind a configuration flag in Scalelite as well. But ultimately, I thought it's not worth the extra hassle and would hide the feature too much.
