~sthagen/liitos#14: Feature request: show interesting environment information (eg. versions of registered tools) before the rendering

As a user I do not want to find out which tools liitos calls to be able to know if they are installed and what version is operating.

It may be useful to provide the equivalent of the following shell calls (the below git and etiketti calls are not always succeeding or applicable respectively - some forgiving call setup may be needed):

git branch
git show

git --version
pandoc --version
npm view mermaid
npm view mermaid-filter
npm view svgexport
lualatex --version
pdfinfo -v
printf "exiftool v%s\n" "$(exiftool -ver)"
foran version
etiketti --version
taksonomia --version
navigaattori version
liitos version

Environment / tool version calls implemented per version 2023.2.4.

Suggest to create a new feature request for git info calls on the filesystem (as they do not apply when rendering locally outside of version control).
