Update the User-Agent to include library and version
Add the library and version to the user agent header that is sent to the BIG-IP so that it can be logged to track usage and help debug problems.  This needs to be done in a way that allows users of this library to add additional strings to the end of the header.

The user agent string should be `f5-icontrol-rest-python/<version>`
