  version: Reduce usage of the current version number (#2340)

When the current version is used, it needs to be updated usually every minor release. This reduces how much the current version is used where it is not essential.

* When in variable name, use more general variable name.
* When in comment or doc, use '<version>' or VV when no specific example is needed.
* When a specific version is need for an example, use 3.y.z which is obviously an example.
* When not essential in the context, remove it completely.
* Use build-time replacement for version on macOS.
* Use short variable name in Python example to keep the lines short.
