add version-strings into the module
The version string is in the module as __version__ available.
In the doc the version will be automatically parsed. The version comes
from the installed module if on read the docs or directly from
setuptools_scm if you are working locally.
The CLI will issue the version string if you call it with the option
'version'. The CLI does not accept commands like '--version', since this
would not be conform with the rest of the interface (and argparse).

The configuration for loading the version-string is adapted from
pimutils/vdirsyncer. It autogenerates a version string setuptools_scm at
install-time and then adds it to the __version__ member in __init__.py

I adapted the GitHub-template with a fitting comment and bumped the
changelog.

Description
-----------

Python ESC/POS is a library which lets the user have access to all those printers handled
by ESC/POS commands, as defined by Epson, from a Python application.

The library tries to implement the functions provided by the ESC/POS-commandset and supports sending text, images,
barcodes and qr-codes to the printer.

Text can be aligned/justified and fonts can be changed by size, type and weight.

Also, this module handles some hardware functionalities like cutting paper, control characters, printer reset
and similar functions.

Dependencies
------------

This library makes use of:

    * pyusb for USB-printers
    * Pillow for image printing
    * qrcode for the generation of QR-codes
    * pyserial for serial printers

Documentation and Usage
-----------------------

The basic usage is:

.. code:: python

    from escpos import *

    """ Seiko Epson Corp. Receipt Printer M129 Definitions (EPSON TM-T88IV) """
    Epson = escpos.Escpos(0x04b8,0x0202,0)
    Epson.text("Hello World\n")
    Epson.image("logo.gif")
    Epson.barcode('1324354657687','EAN13',64,2,'','')
    Epson.cut()

The full project-documentation is available on `Read the Docs <https://python-escpos.readthedocs.io>`_.
