Description

I tried to figure out the version of my installed google/benchmark. It is either 1.5.0 or 1.5.1, but I am unsure. I'd like to have a version.h file or something similar, which gives me the version at a glance.

Research direction
Look at the existing versioning scheme in the repository, if any, and propose adding a version.h file with a version macro.
