Summary	0032321: Draw Harness - pload should be able loading plugins with version suffix
Description	When Draw Harness is packaged on Linux platform it is a common practice to install only libraries with version-suffix to /usr/lib (e.g. "occt-draw"). Version-less symblinks are installed only by dedicated "development" packages (e.g. "libocct-draw-dev"). This makes Draw Harness unusable - not being able to load any plugins. It is desired improving Draw Harness: - Export version information via dedicated function Standard::Version() from libTKernel.so based on OCC_VERSION macros. - Use this version suffix in "pload" / Draw::Load() to load versioned libraries first. - Ideally - handle gracefully plugins without version suffix / with custom version suffix (add options to "pload" command?). - Handle statically-linked Draw Harness plugins specifically (e.g. generate a warning instead of error on attempt to load them using "pload" command).
