fix: cross version ping (#976)

* docs: explain version parameter

Explain version parameter more explicitly. Remove reference to outdated versions. Describe dynamic cross version support with parameter value `false`.

* fix(types): allow `false` for version parameter

Allow value `false` for version parameter. This makes dynamic cross version support usable in typescript projects.

* fix: enable cross version support for ping

Enable dynamic cross version support for ping by responding with the client version and protocol version if dynamic cross version support is enabled.
