I'm not familiar with this lisp-mnt.el library.  Is it the kosher way to
get version introspection for Elisp libs?  Why is it nil if Eglot is not
byte-compiled, couldn't we get it by looking at load-file-name?

Can we somehow get the Emacs.git SHA in there as well?

I'd rather just :name "Eglot" :version "unknown" if we don't have it.

Thanks.  Do we really need a test for this?  I suppose it's good
practice, but seems a but too much.  We could put this check in some
other "basic" test, save a bit of time.
