'version' returned by 'fileparts' is apparently always an empty string

Yes, it is supposed to show the version of the file on systems like
VMS which have file versioning built in to the file system.  But
Octave doesn't run on VMS systems, so version is always an empty
string.  I don't see a bug here, and it doesn't bother me that the
meaning of the version output is not defined any more than the meaning
of directory, name, and extension are, so I don't see anything to fix.
