Enhances version info retrieval

Improves the `version` command to automatically extract build details (version, commit, date) from Go's `debug.ReadBuildInfo` when `ldflags` are not provided.

This allows users installing via `go install` to receive accurate version information without requiring a Makefile or explicit build flags. Updates the README to reflect this new capability.

- `Commit`: Short commit hash
- `Date`: Build timestamp
**Note:** Version information is automatically included when installing via `go install` (no Makefile needed). The tool reads version info from Go's build metadata.
Check the version after installing:
```bash
gitlocal version
