Commit: diff: WT-7922 Handle missing or empty WiredTiger version file (#7388) (#7550)

Handle missing or empty WiredTiger version file and add tests for these scenarios:

• If the WiredTiger file is missing during a normal startup, WiredTiger will write an error message and fail.
• If the WiredTiger file is empty during a normal startup, WiredTiger will write an error message.
• If the WiredTiger file is missing or empty, but "salvage" is on, it will create and populate the file with the current version string.
