Display the SymPy version in the shell prompt

[agriyakhetarpal]

Oh, that is one thing we should do: the version should be displayed automatically somehow. When you run isympy in the terminal it looks like this:

$ isympy
IPython console for SymPy 1.14.dev (Python 3.13.1-64-bit) (ground types: flint)

These commands were executed:
>> from sympy import *
>> x, y, z, t = symbols('x y z t')
>> k, m, n = symbols('k m n', integer=True)
>> f, g, h = symbols('f g h', cls=Function)
>> init_printing()

From a cursory look, #7 might have some insight.

xref sympy/sympy#27183 (comment) for the information to be displayed (also needs python-flint to be available and imported before SymPy so that SymPy can recognise it)
