release version not reported

[reidkaufmann]

The tool doesn’t list its own version number. I installed an official release for Ubuntu/Debian from https://portal.influxdata.com/downloads/

This is pretty minor because the package manager tracks the version, but it could potentially hamper support or debug efforts if not installed from a package, especially if built outside of git (meaning the date doesn't really tell us the version).
