Task #39 — No way to retrieve odbx version

There seems to be no way to learn the version of the odbx library that a program is being compiled with, as well as the version that is currently linked to it.

Adding that would allow to guard against incompatible changes, e.g. as:

if (odbx_libversion() < ODBX_LIBVERSION)
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);

Conditional coding would also be possible, e.g.:

#if ODBX_LIBVERSION >= 0x010500
int status = odbx_ping(handle);
if (status != ODBX_ERR_SUCCESS &&
status != -ODBX_ERR_BACKEND)
return \"connection lost\";
#endif
