Subject: [PATCH] Add Lighthouse version and commit hash to Prometheus metrics
 (#2427)

## Issue Addressed

#2225

## Proposed Changes

Exposes the version given from the `lighthouse_version` crate to the Prometheus metrics server.

## Additional Info

- This metric appears in both the Beacon Node and Validator Client metrics servers.
- This is the simplest solution. It might be better to include the version and commit hash as separate labels rather than combined, however this would be more involved. Happy to do it that way if this is too cumbersome to use.
- The metric appears as:
```
# HELP lighthouse_info The build of Lighthouse running on the server
# TYPE lighthouse_info gauge
lighthouse_info{version="Lighthouse/v1.4.0-379664a+"} 1
```
