 Currently, we have versioning references in hard-coded strings in a couple
 places around the codebase. For example, in protover.c and dirserv.c

 It would be useful to isolate these references to a single location, so
 that in the future, when we need to update/change versions, it is obvious
 all the places that we might need to do it, and what duplication already
 exists.

 This will hopefully help prevent bugs such as #20810 in the future.
