RFC: only compile-tested

- Allow "version" command from client to management to set
  the version of management interface supported by the client
  by specifying an optional parameter.

  If no parameter is specified the current the version of OpenVPN
  and its management interface is returned (current behaviour).

  The client version defaults to 1 which is the current version of
  the Management Interface.

This will allow adding new features to the management interface without
breaking existing clients.
