Feature: exclude version from navbar

[helgasoft]

I would like to remove version from the navbar. For a variety of reasons:

• difficulties fitting together package, CRAN and pkgdown documentation requirements
• some Github code patches are unelated to documentation and rebuilding website seems unjustified
• just visually disturbing/unwanted item

There is already an API precedent - search: exclude
Naively, since Chrome AI gave me the advice (ha-ha), I tried components: exclude: version to be rewarded by a silent crash in pkgdown::build_reference(topics='smtg'). Maybe worth looking into and making it more resilient.
Anyway, components: exclude: version, I think, would be a nice addition.

You should be able to hide the version number with custom CSS. We don't have a specific class on the version number, but this might be specific enough:

small.nav-text.text-muted.me-auto {
    display: none;
}

Thanks, it worked using extra.css file.
I'll leave the issue open for the crash to be addressed, but someone may just close it.
