Add constants which provide information about the version of the underlying library in use: GDBM_VERSION_INFO, gdbm_version_info and gdbm_version if it is GDBM, or BDB_VERSION, bdb_version, BDB_VERSION_INFO and bdb_version_info if it is Berkeley DB. dbm.ndbm.library is now 'ndbm' instead of 'GNU gdbm' for a classic NDBM library.
