We cannot use the same version number, since we have different components,
and we will not rebuild a good an tested component if another component was
modified.

So we can share the major and probably the minor version, but the rest of the
version will be per component.

ovirt-agent - symmetric with ovirt-engine - these are the biggest
parts of the system.

ovirt-host-agent is too long, we don't want to use to word "host" for everything
that run on the host.

For example, supervdsm - we cannot call it ovirt-host-superagent or
ovirt-host-agent-helper
or vdsm-tool - we don't want to call it ovirt-host-agent-tool - think
about the poor
user trying to type these names in the shell.
