aider: Added support for --version flag to display the version number.

# Context:
USER: should `aider --help` show the version now?
ASSISTANT: Yes, with the changes you made, running `aider --help` should show the version information. However, the version will be displayed when you run `aider --version`. The `--help` output will include a line mentioning the `--version` flag, but it won't directly show the version number.
USER: I ran this command:

 aider --version

And got this output:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/gauthier/Projects/aider/.venv/bin/aider", line 8, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())
             ^^^^^^
  File "/Users/gauthier/Projects/aider/aider/main.py", line 32, in main
    parser = configargparse.ArgumentParser(
             ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "/Users/gauthier/Projects/aider/.venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/configargparse.py", line 433, in __init__
    argparse.ArgumentParser.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)
TypeError: ArgumentParser.__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'version'

ASSISTANT: I apologize for the confusion earlier. It seems I made a mistake. `configargparse` does not have a built-in `version` parameter like `argparse`. Instead, you can add a custom argument with the `--version` flag and handle it manually. Here's how you can modify your `aider/main.py` file:

```python
aider/main.py
<<<<<<< ORIGINAL
    parser = configargparse.ArgumentParser(
        description="aider is GPT powered coding in your terminal",
        add_config_file_help=True,
        default_config_files=default_config_files,
        config_file_parser_class=configargparse.YAMLConfigFileParser,
        auto_env_var_prefix="AIDER_",
        version=__version__,
    )
=======
    parser = configargparse.ArgumentParser(
        description="aider is GPT powered coding in your terminal",
        add_config_file_help=True,
        default_config_files=default_config_files,
        config_file_parser_class=configargparse.YAMLConfigFileParser,
        auto_env_var_prefix="AIDER_",
    )

    parser.add_argument(
        "--version",
        action="store_true",
        help="Show the version number and exit",
    )
>>>>>>> UPDATED
```

```python
aider/main.py
<<<<<<< ORIGINAL
    args = parser.parse_args(args)
=======
    args, unknown_args = parser.parse_known_args(args)

    if args.version:
        print(f"aider version {__version__}")
        sys.exit(0)

    # Re-parse the arguments to include unknown_args
    args = parser.parse_args(args + unknown_args)

^C KeyboardInterrupt
USER: can we add soemthing like this: parser.add_argument('-v', '--version', action='version', version='%(prog)s ' + __version__)

ASSISTANT: I apologize for the confusion earlier. It turns out that `configargparse` does support the `version` action, similar to `argparse`. You can add the `--version` argument as you suggested. Here's how you can modify your `aider/main.py` file:

```python
aider/main.py
<<<<<<< ORIGINAL
    parser = configargparse.ArgumentParser(
        description="aider is GPT powered coding in your terminal",
        add_config_file_help=True,
        default_config_files=default_config_files,
        config_file_parser_class=configargparse.YAMLConfigFileParser,
        auto_env_var_prefix="AIDER_",
        version=__version__,
    )
=======
    parser = configargparse.ArgumentParser(
        description="aider is GPT powered coding in your terminal",
        add_config_file_help=True,
        default_config_files=default_config_files,
        config_file_parser_class=configargparse.YAMLConfigFileParser,
        auto_env_var_prefix="AIDER_",
    )

    parser.add_argument(
        "-v", "--version", action="version", version=f"%(prog)s {__version__}", help="Show the version number and exit"
    )
>>>>>>> UPDATED
```

Now, running `aider --version` or `aider -v` will display the version number as expected.
