While testing this new feature, I found a big issue which was crashing
OpenShot.  If the 1st import statement did not find OpenShot, it would
break importing classes.info, and thus not launch OpenShot.  I moved the
code around, and put it into a safer location.  This also fixes another
bug, when there are multiple instances of OpenShot launched the "--
version" arg would crash it.  So, all is good now, and checked in.
Thanks!

** Summary changed:

- [Feature Request] --version command line option
+ --version command line argument (without launching OpenShot)

** Changed in: openshot
   Importance: Wishlist => Low

Title:
  --version command line argument (without launching OpenShot)

Status in OpenShot Video Editor:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  This is a general feature request, so it doesn't apply to any specific
  version of Ubuntu/Linux.

  I wanted to find out the version on OpenShot through command line, so
  I punched in "openshot --version", but it looked like it was starting
  up instead of just giving a one-line output of its version. Though it
  does state its version during startup in its terminal output, but it
  would be nice if it would only show the version and not try to start
  up. Also, it seems that there's no "--help" either, so I guess that
  means there's no command line interface whatsoever.

  Thanks in advance!
