Subject: [PATCH] PILOT-65: fix pilotctl --json version to emit JSON instead of
 plaintext

The global --json flag was being ignored by the version command,
which unconditionally wrote fmt.Println(version) to stdout.

Fix: use output(version) which respects the jsonOutput flag and
emits the standard {"status":"ok","data":"v1.12.4"} envelope
when --json is set.

Found by PILOT-65 Phase 1 functional test runner (44/45 passing).
