info-overview: stop displaying GNOME Shell version

Since GNOME 43, this panel displays the GNOME Shell version rather than
the GNOME version since we removed the XML file containing GNOME version
from gnome-desktop and it is no longer possible to determine which
version of GNOME is used. However, the panel still says "GNOME Version"
and not "GNOME Shell Version," which leads to incorrect results because
the versions are different. For example, GNOME 43.6 contains GNOME Shell
43.5. It is therefore incorrect to display the GNOME Shell version next
to the label "GNOME Version."

Furthermore, we do not have consensus to rename this label to "GNOME
Shell Version" as this is apparently intended to be an internal codename
rather than a user-facing name. See gnome-control-center!1481.

The only remaining reasonable course of action is to just not show the
GNOME Shell version anymore. It's a little unfortunate, because it
seemed useful to me, but I don't see what else we can do here.
