This commit adds a new request object field, "version", containing the version of the requesting client. This parameter is now accepted - and for certain clients required - by the server and the request is validated against it. Currently server's and client's versions still need to be equal in order for the request to be accepted. Relaxing this check is going to be part of future work.
On the clients' side, the only check remaining is to ensure that the peer server is supporting version backwards compatibility (i.e. is on, or newer than a certain release).
