Not sure if I support adding it to `/about` but adding `/version` that return version (and plugins list) is something I totally support.

There is actually quite a lot of value in having a public plugin list cause we can then help alert various forums in the wild if they have plugins that need updating.

Added #pr-welcome for `/version` that is a static text page that shows version.

Public plugin list and plugin version is open to discussion. May need to add a switch to optionally hide.
