env: add a version number to check API
Changes in the environment library are difficult to tracked by programs using the library. Add simply an API version number that must be increased each time when the API is changed. This can be detected and a program can work with different versions of the library. Signed-off-by: Stefano Babic <sbabic@denx.de>
