Description
The version triplet returned by this operation (version_maj, version_min and version_rev) is
the implementation version of the specific Parsec provider. For the Core Provider, this version is
the implementation version of the whole Parsec service.
The providers vector returned is in order of provider priority: the highest priority providers
come first. The core provider will always come last. The provider at position zero, if not the core
provider, can be treated as default provider by the client. Clients should still check the supported
opcodes of the provider, even the default one, as it might not implement the operations they want.
