ei_connection.sync does not have a version argument

ei_connection.sync creates a new object but does not specify the version information for that object. It is the only request/event that does so. This means the object must either always be of version 11 or we break the protocol and add the version argument.

I'm leaning towards the latter. The protocol was declared stable in RC1 but let's be honest, the number of users is small enough that we can just ask for forgiveness. Probably better than having to work around this forever in the future.
