cmake: read the VERSION file unconditionally so builds report the real version #8164

IfcConvert --version reported 0.8.0 on a plain source build even though the
VERSION file says 0.8.6 (#8164). buildinfo.cpp already falls back to the
IFCOPENSHELL_VERSION_STRING macro and CMake already passes it as
${RELEASE_VERSION}, but RELEASE_VERSION was only read from the VERSION file
when VERSION_OVERRIDE was on. A default build (VERSION_OVERRIDE off,
ADD_COMMIT_SHA off, as the nixpkgs package builds it) fell through to the
hardcoded "0.8.0", so the fallback macro carried the stale value.

Read the VERSION file unconditionally so RELEASE_VERSION is always the real
version. VERSION_OVERRIDE still governs the branch name embedded when
ADD_COMMIT_SHA is on, and project()/CPack now also reflect the true version.
