Daniel Bevenius 1173700b9c examples : print ggml_version and ggml_commit in test-cmake [no ci] (#28538)
This commit adds the printing of the ggml version and commit to the
test-cmake example.

The motivation is just to be able to quickly verify that the correct
version of ggml is being used.

Example output:
```console
test-cmake] llama.cpp version: 0.4.0-dev, build: 10837 (5202104b5)
[test-cmake] ggml version: 0.23.0, commit: 5202104b5
[test-cmake] Initializing backend...

cmake-test

This is just for manually testing/developing of a llama.cpp installation to enable troubleshooting issues and exploration. The idea is that this can be used after making changes to llama.cpp installation cmake configuration and then verify it locally.

Usage

The following will configure, build, and install llama.cpp

Configuring/build/install:

./build-install.sh

The above command will create a directory named install in the current directory which will have the follwing files in its lib directory:

(venv) $ ls install/lib/
cmake                   libggml.so          libllama-common.so.0      libllama.so.0.1.0  llama.cpp
libggml-base.so         libggml.so.0        libllama-common.so.0.1.0  libmtmd.so         pkgconfig
libggml-base.so.0       libggml.so.0.19.0   libllama.so               libmtmd.so.0
libggml-base.so.0.19.0  libllama-common.so  libllama.so.0             libmtmd.so.0.1.0

Build/run this project using the installation created above:

(venv) $ ./build.sh
