pytest --version should not load all plugins #13574

Description

@nicoddemus

pytest --version is used to just display the pytest version. It should not load all plugins for that.

Of course there are historical reasons for this to happen.

pytest --version --version is the "verbose" version, which does display the installed plugins.
