feat(must-gather): add version file for programmatic analysis

[ann0ra]

Write a version file at <dest-dir>/version containing the product name and the must-gather's own build version.

Description

The must-gather enhancement spec (please see the point 3) requires must-gather images to produce a /must-gather/version file containing the product name (line 1) and version (line 2, major.minor.micro-qualifier) for programmatic analysis.

This PR adds a VersionCollector that writes the version file at <dest-dir>/version with the following format:

Red Hat OpenShift Logging/must-gather
6.7.0

A few points to mention:

• IIUC, the operator image serves also as the must-gather image. Both binaries live in the same container, so the version stamping from make generate (which overwrites version/version.go) applies to both.
• The must-gather does not have its own independent version, it uses version.Version from the shared version package.
• The product name Red Hat OpenShift Logging is currently a const in must-gather/internal/version/version_collector.go. Is there a canonical source we could import it from instead? If not, would it be better to move this constant to a shared location (e.g., version/version.go)?

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The must-gather process now includes a version collector. It writes the product name and application version to a version file. The README example shows the file at the must-gather root.

Changes

Must-gather version file

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Version collector and tests must-gather/internal/version/version_collector.go, must-gather/internal/version/version_collector_test.go, must-gather/internal/version/suite_test.go	Adds a collector that writes product and application version data to version. Tests check the output content and collector name.
Gather integration and output example must-gather/gather.go, must-gather/README.md	Adds the version collector before the existing collectors. Updates the README example to show version at the must-gather root.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to b318f

The version file’s output location and documented archive-root location agree, with no actionable merge blocker identified.

Hi @ann0ra. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a openshift member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work.

Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

/retest

[jcantrill]

@ann0ra please fix:

- File location differs from the README. The collector writes to <dest-dir>/version (i.e. the archive root, /must-gather/version). The must-gather README's tree still shows version nested under cluster-logging/clo/version. The PR didn't update the README, so the doc is now stale about where the version file lives.

Red Hat OpenShift Logging/must-gather
6.7.0

Both lines are newline-terminated ($ markers), perms 0644, 44 bytes.

Where it is vs. where it's "expected":
- It matches the collector's code (destDir.Add("version") → root of dest-dir) and the enhancement spec (line 1 = product name, line 2 = version).
- It does not match the must-gather README's tree, which still shows version under cluster-logging/clo/version. That README is now stale — the PR didn't update it. Worth a follow-up doc fix, but the artifact behavior itself is correct.
