pytest --version less verbose by default

See original GitHub issue

Currently pytest --version shows something like:

$ pytest --version 
This is pytest version 5.4.2, imported from d:\projects\pytest\src\pytest\__init__.py
setuptools registered plugins:
  hypothesis-4.36.0 at d:\projects\pytest\.env36\lib\site-packages\hypothesis\extra\pytestplugin.py
  pytest-forked-1.1.1 at d:\projects\pytest\.env36\lib\site-packages\pytest_forked\__init__.py
  pytest-xdist-1.31.0 at d:\projects\pytest\.env36\lib\site-packages\xdist\plugin.py
  pytest-xdist-1.31.0 at d:\projects\pytest\.env36\lib\site-packages\xdist\looponfail.py

We should follow other tools (black, pre-commit, Python), where --version shows only the tool version, while --version --version shows more information.

$ pytest --version
pytest 5.4.2

$ pytest --version --version

  pytest-xdist-1.31.0 at d:\projects\pytest\.env36\lib\site-packages\xdist\looponfail.py

How about using verbosity as indicator

That was my initial suggestion, but others pointed out that --version --version is used by black, pre-commit and even Python itself, so we decided to follow suit.
