Is your feature or enhancement request related to a problem or limitation? Please describe

It's currently difficult to determine which versions of Zowe CLI were included in a given Zowe release. I've received several requests around people unsure of how to determine what their installed version of Zowe CLI means in terms of Zowe release numbers.

Describe your enhancement idea

Ideally, the zowe --version command would also provide the specific major and minor Zowe version, however this is complicated by the disconnect between the Zowe CLI release schedule and the Zowe release schedule (i.e., not all versions of Zowe CLI are included in Zowe releases, so what Zowe version would we include for those?). Maybe, we could update the Zowe version each time that we enter code freeze and just continue printing that version until the code freeze for the next Zowe release.

An alternative/additional resource that might be useful would be to publish a table that lists which version of Zowe CLI is included with each Zowe release.

Describe alternatives you've considered

The best alternative that I know of for correlating Zowe CLI versions with Zowe versions is to look at zowe-cli-standalone-package/zowe-versions.yaml (https://github.com/zowe/zowe-cli-standalone-package/blob/2ca2cc0426314c2735c6ccd07c42ead1bdc5323b/zowe-versions.yaml#L74) and cycle through the branches.

Provide any additional context

In V3, we will be including the major Zowe release in the zowe --version output, which is definitely helpful, however, it would be useful for users and support people to be able to determine how the Zowe CLI version lines up with Zowe releases.
