Implement i3 --moreversion

From the code:

    Connects to i3 to find out the currently running version. Useful since it
    might be different from the version compiled into this binary (maybe the
    user didn’t correctly install i3 or forgot te restart it).

Here is an example output:

    $ ./i3 --moreversion
    Binary i3 version:  4.2-202-gb8e782c (2012-08-12, branch "next") © 2009-2012 Michael Stapelberg and contributors
    Running i3 version: 4.2-202-gb8e782c (2012-08-12, branch "next") (pid 14804)

    The i3 binary you just called: /home/michael/i3/i3
    RUNNING BINARY DIFFERENT FROM BINARY ON DISK!
    The i3 binary you are running: /home/michael/i3/i3

    $ i3 restart
