admin: introduce virAdmGetVersion

Unfortunately, client side version retrieval API virGetVersion uses
one-time initialization (due to the fact we might not have initialized the
library by calling connect prior to this) which is not completely compatible
with admin initialization. This API is rather simplistic and reimplementing
it for admin might be the preferred method of reusing it. Note that even though
the method will be reimplemented, the version number is still the same for both
the libvirt and libvirt-admin library.
