Bug#1121935: python3-clang doesn't include a python package version

[Kienan]

Package: python3-clang
Version: 1:19.0-63
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

python3-clang does not provide a pythong package version that is
introspectable using `importlib.metadata.version`.

For example, with wheel:

$ python3 -c "import importlib.metadata; print(importlib.metadata.version('wheel'))"
0.46.1

With python3-clang:
$ python3 -c "import importlib.metadata; print(importlib.metadata.version('clang'))"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3.13/importlib/metadata/__init__.py", line 407, in from_name
    return next(iter(cls.discover(name=name)))
StopIteration

I ran into this usse while trying to use clang2py[1] with
python3-clang installed via the Debian package. clang2py assumes that
the the version of the clang Python package is in line with the major
version of clang used[2].

I'm not entirely sure the best way to do this. While I think adding
`__version__ = "19.xxx"` to `__init__.py` would work, I don't believe
that this is necessarily the standard approach.

I also note that packages aren't obligated to supply a run-time
queryable version[3].
