Saw v2.  I would just stick a "version" string into the dict instead of 
the three values for major, minor and micro.

The compiled version is perfectly fine, I think it is more useful to 
have that one as it decides which features qemu is able to use.

If we want report the runtime version too (any reason to do this?) I'd 
just add a spice_server_get_version() function to the library.
