Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I have several computers with different optical drives and often lose track of which ones have up-to-date software on them. I can do redumper --version but not the same with MPF.

Describe the solution you'd like
MPF.Check --version and MPF.CLI --version to output their current version numbers then quit.

Also, while I'm here, I know that MPF.Check -h, MPF.Check -?, MPF.CLI -h, MPF.CLI -? exist, but it would be good if MPF.Check --help and MPF.CLI --help worked too, due to muscle memory from other software. Of course, they sort of do work as the command isn't recognised and so the usage text is shown, but I mean without showing "Invalid number of arguments" first!

Describe alternatives you've considered
For the lack of --version, I don't have an easy workaround. I could just download the latest version each session, but that's a bit tedious.

Obviously --help already has alternatives, so that part is just a "would be nice" feature request.

Has this regressed? MPF.Check --version doesn't seem to work in 3.6.0.

No regression, just a simplification of "top level" stuff like that. It's just version now. If you run the program without inputs, it should show up.

Hmm, MPF.Check version still gives me Invalid number of arguments followed by the usage text.

I don't know what to tell you, I ran both Check and CLI locally with ./MPF.Check version and ./MPF.CLI version respectively and they both had the desired output.

Oh sorry, I don't know how I managed this, but I wasn't running the correct version, ironically! It works fine, thanks :)
