Add .jquery to the official API

[Nick_Craver]

The $.fn.jquery version property (​http://github.com/jquery/jquery/blob/1.4.2/src/core.js#L170) isn't in the official API (​http://api.jquery.com/) currently.

I don't think it's going anywhere given it's in core and been there since 1.0, but can we add it to the official API documentation to ensure it can be used without any (or less at least) fear of future breaking changes?

See also ticket #7224, a ticket for solving the same problem via the jQuery.type function. Either way, really. Advantage to the property is that it's not a function call. Advantage to jQuery.type is that it will work when handed something that isn't an object.

The solution in #7224 does not, in fact, solve the same problem. jQuery.fn.jquery returns the actual version string, e.g., "1.4.3".

It solves the problem both Nick and I were addressing: ​http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3941621
