[Idle-dev] Remove Idle version from About dialog

Help -> About IDLE displays a dialog box that contains, among other 
things, "Python version: m.n.p" and "IDLE version: m.n.p". Several years 
ago, the Idle version was different from the Python version, but that 
ended over 5 years ago.

I think 'IDLE version' should be removed.  It implies that there is 
something distinct from 'Python version', but currently there is not. 
Any opinions?

https://bugs.python.org/issue24199
includes this proposal, but it is more about deleting 
idlelib/idlever.py, which is not needed in anycase.
