Need to be able to get minimum supported Chrome version from command line

Reported by is...@saucelabs.com, Mar 23 2018

Issue description

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Try running CD against an old version of Chrome

What is the expected behavior?
From CLI, I would like to be able to do something like `chromedriver --minimum-chrome-version` and get reasonable output saying something like `63.2.4.6`.

What went wrong?
As it stands, for a particular version of CD you need to check out the release commit, then go into `src/chrome/test/chromedriver/chrome/version.cc` to find the version. We end up having to keep a running list of CD version -> Chrome version mappings (see https://github.com/appium/appium/blob/master/docs/en/writing-running-appium/web/chromedriver.md). 

Did this work before? No 

Chrome version: 65.0.3325.181  Channel: stable
OS Version: OS X 10.13.3
Flash Version: 

I am happy to do this work, I just want to solicit others' opinions before embarking on it.

We (The Appium Project) use it for Android. The feature request is for any version of Android and any version of Chrome. The desire is to be able to query a particular Chromedriver executable and get back the minimum version of Chrome that is supported. This information is in the Chromedriver, it is just difficult to get out and at the moment require external mapping.

The issue we are working around is that supporting older Android devices with older Chrome versions on them require switching which Chromedriver is used, and we would like to not have to get the Chromedriver version, then look into our map for what the minimum Chrome version it supports is. This information should be retrievable from the Chromedriver itself.
