What about

pgr_version() -> should match version of extension
pgr_version("full") -> full string with everything  (could be also "debug")

I know this is not really important discussion, but we did so well in
decreasing the number of functions and then we're having multiple ones for
just getting the version information ;-)
Also I had to add two pages to the function reference somehow.

I still like the idea to return a record, because someone could pick what
is important if used for an application, like:

SELECT * FROM pgr_version();

version   | tag     | build | hash     | branch
----------+---------+-------+----------+---------------
2.0.0-dev | v2.0dev | 271   | g6eeef9b | sew-devel-2_0

So one could get the version with SELECT version FROM pgr_version() in case
they really use it for some application for example;

Well, I think I can do the modification as well.
