Server Provides Patch Version Information to Client

The server passes the patch component of its version to the client. Data about the patch version component is in system.processes and query_log. #2646
The ClickHouse server now exposes the patch component of its version to clients, making this information available in system tables.

Why it matters

This feature allows users to obtain detailed server version information including the patch number, which helps in better version tracking, debugging, and compatibility checks.

How to use it

Users can query the system.processes and system.query_log tables to see the patch version component of the ClickHouse server as part of the version information.
