Report version of Deepvariant

[marchoeppner]

Describe the issue:
I have been using DV via the official Docker container; and I have not found a way yet to make DV tell me its version. The Docker container is versioned, obviously, but the included tools have no "--version" flag - which makes it a bit tricky to dump out version information at run time (for logging purposes, for example).

Setup
Any system would have this issue, I think

Steps to reproduce:

Thank you @marchoeppner . We have added a version information to the VCF file to our internal codebase, and it'll come out in the next release.
After our next release, your VCF output will have a line that looks like this:

##DeepVariant_version=1.0.0

What you're requesting seems to be a commandline. If I understand correctly, is this something you're looking for:

docker run  google/deepvariant:"${BIN_VERSION}" --version

to output the current version?

I can see this being particularly helpful especially if you're trying to use google/deepvariant:latest. I can add that.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I filed an issue internally to track. In our code release you should have both the version in VCF and the --version flag.
