Advertising driver's name in the system.clients table can be helpful when debugging issues, e.g. when a connection imbalance occurs and allows to narrow down the culprit application/driver better.
The main module name is stored in a const in version.go.
The replaced module name and the version are fetched from the binary runtime information, where it comes from GitHub metadata (release tag).
Credits to @zimnx for this idea!
I've tested this manually using my fork. The version has shown correctly in system.clients.
