Mitchell Hashimoto 8813261341 libghostty: expose version information via build options and C API 
Add version (std.SemanticVersion) to the terminal build options so that
the terminal module has access to the application version at comptime.
The add() function breaks it out into version_string, version_major,
version_minor, version_patch, and version_build terminal options.

On the C API side, five new GhosttyBuildInfo variants expose these
through ghostty_build_info(). String values use GhosttyString; numeric
values use size_t. When no build metadata is present, version_build
returns a zero-length string.

The c-vt-build-info example is updated to query and print all version
fields.

Example: ghostty-vt Build Info

This contains a simple example of how to use the ghostty-vt build info API to query compile-time build configuration.

This uses a build.zig and Zig to build the C program so that we can reuse a lot of our build logic and depend directly on our source tree, but Ghostty emits a standard C library that can be used with any C tooling.

Usage

Run the program:

zig build run
