Fix check_amalgamation.yml: pass --version to generate_natvis.py

bff45f111 (#5717 item 3) made --version optional in
tools/generate_natvis/generate_natvis.py and wired the workflow's new
"Regenerate nlohmann_json.natvis" step to call it without --version,
relying on the script deriving the version from abi_macros.hpp itself.

But NATVIS_TOOL_DIR is checked out from develop, the same way TOOL_DIR
already is for amalgamate.py, precisely so an in-flight PR's tooling
changes cannot mark themselves clean. Until this PR (or an equivalent)
merges to develop, that checkout is the old generate_natvis.py, whose
--version argument is still required=True. The new step's invocation
of "generate_natvis.py $MAIN_DIR" (no --version) then fails argparse
on this PR's own CI run with "the following arguments are required:
--version", before the check ever gets to compare output.

Extract the version from $MAIN_DIR's own abi_macros.hpp in the
workflow and always pass it as --version. That satisfies the old
script's required argument and is accepted as an explicit override by
the new one, so the step behaves the same whether NATVIS_TOOL_DIR holds
the pre- or post-merge tool, and stays correct for later PRs that bump
the version.

Verified by running the workflow step's shell logic locally against
both the pre-#5717 generate_natvis.py (checked out at 633de8e44) and
the new one: both produce the identical nlohmann_json.natvis as the
committed file.

Review fix for #5717 item 3 (PR #5735).
