Show control plane version in rad version #8953
Description
Overview of feature request
Currently, the rad version command only displays the version of the Radius CLI installed locally and not the version of the Radius control plane running in the cluster that the user is pointed to:
% rad version
RELEASE VERSION BICEP COMMIT
0.44.0 v0.44.0 0.33.93 1dd17270ec9bc9e764f314fa62c248406034edda
Since the CLI version is intentionally independent of the version of the control plane running in the cluster, showing only the version of the CLI is a confusing UX as it does not specify to the user whether they are seeing the version of the CLI or control plane being displayed.
To mitigate this, rad version should be clear in displaying both the version of the CLI installed on the user's machine and control plane running on the cluster.
Acceptance criteria
When a user runs the rad version command, both the CLI version installed on the user's machine
and the control plane version running on the cluster they are currently pointed at should be displayed, e.g.
% rad version
CLI-RELEASE CLI-VERSION BICEP COMMIT
0.44.0 v0.44.0 0.33.93 1dd17270ec9bc9e764f314fa62c248406034edda
CTRL-PLANE-RELEASE CTRL-PLANE-VERSION CLUSTER
0.43.0 v.0.43.0 k3d-k3s-default
Additional context
Today, the workaround to find the version of the control plane running in the cluster is to use kubectl describe pod, e.g.
kubectl describe pod controller-6bc4fc97bc-5hq94 -n radius-system

@willtsai should we add something to the product roadmap related to supported/unsupported scenarios for backward and forward compatibility of the CLI vs. server versions?
