Version support is recommended by IANA (see RFC7506, Sec 7.5).

Extensibility is a separate issue and doesn't replace the benefit of
version support.

The goal is to avoid needing to assign a new port number for GRASPv2 in
the future.

IMO, all messages (including NOOP) should start with a version number,
and I'd suggest at least 2 bits (if not 4).
