Implemented firmware bundle version exposure to ClusterDescriptor to enable cross-node firmware consistency validation. The change populates ClusterDescriptor.fw_bundle_version with first_fw_bundle_version in tenstorrent/tt-umd, following the existing eth_fw_version exposure pattern. No functional changes to UMD behavior; this is a data-exposure improvement that enables downstream validation and supports upcoming tt-metal cluster validation tests (DCAMP-255).
