Add to/from_consensus methods to Version type

The `Version` type uses a signed 32 bit integer inner type but we bit
twiddle as if it was a `u32`. We recently made the inner type private to
hide the data type because of this oddness.

Add methods `from_consensus` and `to_consensus` to facilitate any
possible thing users may want to do with a consensus version value.
