Version and absolute URL are not available as Quick Parts.

I'd create a content type and add a Version (numeric) field so people can
decide when this should change, rather than SharePoint.

For the file path you're going to have trouble though. Only way I can think
is to set a field's value via a workflow.

Both could then be added to a template footer as Quick Parts.

As for legacy documents...there's no way I know to update these easily. I
did see a batch XML converter around but I don't think it could handle
these kind of changes.
