Subject: [PATCH] Report installed plugin version in System Info

When the v4 engine runs inside a newer package (v5 in classic mode), the System Info tool printed WPRSS_VERSION (the engine's internal version, e.g. 4.23.13) as the Plugin Version, even though the installed package is newer. That reads like a failed update and generates support tickets. Show the real installed version from the main plugin file header instead, and keep the engine version on a separate line when it differs.
