Pull request overview

Note

Copilot was unable to run its full agentic suite in this review.

Updates the kpt version command to display both a version string and the Git commit hash (with dirty state) obtained from Go's embedded build info, and changes the Makefile to inject a date-based development version instead of a Git short hash.

Changes:

• Replaces single-line version output with multi-line output including version and VCS commit hash/dirty flag via runtime/debug.ReadBuildInfo.
• Changes Makefile version ldflag value from git rev-parse --short HEAD to a date-stamped development string.
• Updates copyright year range.

Would it be a hassle to add a --short switch that displays it the old way? @aravindtga
