Include an inspector protocol version number

It is possible that the backend can change the values it sends, but the protocol itself stays the same. In order to detect such changes, and react to them in the frontend, there would need to be something that could be checked.

• So far we've been relying on "check for something else in the protocol changing and use that as an indicator" but that is not always perfect.
• We've also done "check the value and change behavior based on the type / appearance of the value" but that is not always perfect.

Adding a version number to the protocol would make this simpler, we could just check against the version number.
