Description

currently, only stacks-node and stacks-signer respond to the --version arg:

$ target/release/stacks-node --version
INFO [1729868721.863293] [testnet/stacks-node/src/main.rs:285] [main] stacks-node 0.1.0 (:, release build, linux [x86_64])
target/release/stacks-node <SUBCOMMAND>
Run a stacks-node.

USAGE:
stacks-node <SUBCOMMAND>
...

All binaries should respond similarly to that arg.
