buildinfo: report the release version instead of a hardcoded fallback #8164

When ADD_COMMIT_SHA is off (the default for release tarballs), buildinfo.cpp
fell back to a hardcoded "0.8.0", so a 0.8.5/0.8.6 build reported 0.8.0 from
IfcConvert --version and in written file headers. Pass CMake's RELEASE_VERSION
(read from the VERSION file) to IfcParse as IFCOPENSHELL_VERSION_STRING and use
it as the fallback, mirroring how the branch/commit defines are handled. The
commit-sha build and the last-resort literal are unchanged.
