Maybe a (void)version to suppress the unused parameter warning?

Instead, I'd say we remove the "version" parameter of the callback altogether. There are many more requirements possible as can be seen in #376. We can just let the application access those via more member functions like get_connected_vt_version() does for the version

Describe your changes
This change enables a consumer of our VT client interface to dynamically choose which object pool(s) they want to use by looking at the version reported by the VT server in an event-driven way.
How it works
set_on_ready_for_object_pool_callbackon the VT Client. Once the server's version has been learned, if no object pools have been set by the user for upload, we will call this callback (if its valid). Inside this callback, the user can inspect the version of the VT server (which is passed in) and callset_object_poolorregister_object_pool_data_chunk_callbackto register any number and order of object pools they wish.The user remains free to use the library exactly the same way as before as well. This enhancement is entirely optional to utilize. The actual number of changes to the library itself are pretty minimal to support this.
How has this been tested?
I've added a new example application to the repo that extends the original VT client example to demonstrate this use-case. I validated that when this example is run, two separate pool transfers occur to a VT with version 6 (in my case) and everything seems to work as intended.
