GOB: Version from main menu shows nothing for GOG version

Cc: Game: Goblins 3

Description (last modified by antoniou79)

This is tested with Goblins 3, GOG version, ScummVM 2.8.0 and 2.9.0git current master HEAD.

When selecting Version from the in-game menu (top of the screen, select the "diskette" icon and then "VERSION"), the game shows seemingly badly initialized text that makes little sense.

This is because the GOG version is missing the "VERSION" file, which, as far as I can tell, has to be read in order to correctly display the VERSION info for the game.

Our wiki for the game makes no mention of the VERSION file either, in the required data files for the game. https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Goblins_3

Since the game is detected as "Goblins Quest 3 (CD v1.02/DOS/English)" by ScummVM detection, it could be possible to implement a fallback for this case and display a version text based on the detection findings.

I am attaching screenshot of how it looks without VERSION (GOG version), and how it should look properly.
