The --version dump is what we ask users for when triaging crashes, so it should carry enough host info to tell macOS-on-Apple-Silicon apart from Windows-on-AMD64 without a follow-up question. Adds a Platform section with system, kernel, arch, Python implementation, the interpreter path, the openage install path, and the glibc version on Linux. All stdlib, no new deps. Also moves the "== C++ ==" header out of LONGVERSION so it can be printed conditionally, and falls back to a clear "Cython module not built" line when openage.versions hasn't been compiled yet (e.g. when running --version from a partially configured tree). OpenGL version is still TODO; it needs a live GL context, which we don't want to spin up just to satisfy --version. Left as a follow-up. Refs #1185.

Merge Checklist
make checkmergeWhen someone files a bug and we ask for
openage --version, we get the dependency versions but nothing about their machine, so the OS/arch/Python is always a follow-up question. This adds a== Platform ==block with that info (all stdlib, so it works on a tree that isn't built yet) and wraps the existing C++ version block in a try/except, so running it from a half-configured checkout prints a clear "not built" line instead of anImportErrortraceback.Left the OpenGL version out, that needs a live GL context and I didn't want to start the renderer just to answer
--version.Refs #1185.
