Provides a version class to get the current Spring Cloud release tag

Just as Spring Framework has SpringVersion and Spring Boot has SpringBootVersion, Spring Cloud should also have a similar class, such as SpringCloudVersion to read the current release tag.

This is a bit more complex because Spring Cloud is not just one project and we have a release train.

I am curious as to how you would use a class like this if it was present?

I will primarily use it for log collection, to display the version information of the libraries used in the application.
