Add the pyVmomi version in the user-agent request header

This change adds a project wide variable to hold the current pyVmomi version - version_info. Based of https://docs.python.org/3/library/sys.html#sys.version_info
Another variable holds a text version of version_info and extends the User-Agent header - version_info_str.
