Description:
MySQL programs conventionally support a --version option. This can be useful, for example, when a user wants to report a problem and indicate which version of the program was being used.

mysqlpump has no such option.

How to repeat:
% mysqlpump --version
mysqlpump: [ERROR] unknown option '--version'
mysqlpump: [ERROR] (2) Error during handling options
Dump process encountered error and will not continue.

Suggested fix:
Support --version option.
