No apparent way to verify which prettier was chosen

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm setting up prettier in a Lerna monorepo, and I want to make sure I've got it set up correctly. It's not clear to me how to verify whether the extension is using the version I intended, or the pre-bundled one. I noticed a warning mentioned at #341, but I don't see this warning in the prettier output for even a simple test workspace with no local prettier installed at all. (I do not have any global prettier installation.)

Describe the solution you'd like
Have the prettier version always visible in the status bar. Ideally, also indicate where prettier was found when clicking on the status bar entry. (Probably unrelated side note: that entry can have a single or double check. I don't know what that means and don't see it documented.)

If that's not feasible, at least output which prettier binary/version is being used for formatting in the output window.

(Or if this already exists somewhere I don't see, document that fact!)

I suppose we could log the version, but the logs do tell you the location of prettier being used if you have debug logs on.

"DEBUG" - 6:54:08 PM] Local prettier module path: '/User/foo/projects/baz/node_modules/prettier/index.js'

I ran into a similar inconvenience. A specific sub-path of my monorepo was using a previous version of Prettier because a sub-dependency (out of my control) required Prettier 2.y.z while everywhere else my monorepo was using 3.y.z.

As @ntotten mentioned, I could trace the problem in the Output panel and notice that my problematic sub-path was loading a different version but I took me a few hours.

Maybe a change in the label for the status bar indicator could help?
