Announce dbt v2 availability as an INFO message on `dbt --version`, with a link to the v2 install docs (#)

🔧 Bug Fixes & Patches (6)

Bare wildcard FQN selectors (e.g. `-s "f_*"`) now match nested models regardless of subfolder depth (#)
Fix cumulative metrics with an `input_metric` and a top-level `window` field (v2 metric spec) incorrectly failing to parse with a legacy nested-`type_params` error (#N/A)
Fix compiled_code not persisted to manifest.json when using --use-v2-parser (#)
Include `semantic_manifest.json` in the artifact set uploaded by `--upload-to-artifacts-ingest-api`, matching other run artifacts (#N/A)
Validate that tarball package download locations stay within the dbt downloads directory (#)
