What?

Add an alternative version command, globus --version, which aliases the primary globus version command.

Why?

globus --version and globus version are both common version lookup paradigms for cli tools & it is very lightweight/testable to maintain support for a second one alongside the original.

Usage

Aliases of duplicate logic
