refactor: detach Info from apimachinery util version

- Remove `info` field from `Version` struct
- Modify `WithInfo` and `Info` methods to be deprecated
- Update version information retrieval to use base version info
- Simplify version information generation in compatibility tests
- Remove unnecessary version info passing in build and test scenarios
