[REQUEST] Reopen #1754 of `rich.__version__`

[Anselmoo]

This topic was originally handled in #1754 but closed.

How would you improve Rich?

If it would be possible to get the current used library version of rich.

print(f'✅ Rich: {rich.__version__}') 

What problem does it solve for you?

Currently, the version of rich is not listed in __init__.py, more details in #1754

@willmcgugan would it be possible to open the request or get feedback if a PR would make sense? thx
