Description

Add a flag to kyt-cli that returns the current version from package.json and exits 0. Should probably be -v and --version. Originally came up in #490.

Research direction
Implement a version flag in kyt cli by reading the version from package.json. Look at the existing CLI argument handling in src/cli.js or similar. Use process.exit(0) after output. Add tests to verify the flag returns the correct version and exits cleanly.
