feat(ui): add version display and improve settings layout

Introduced a versioning system that computes release tags during build and displays the current version or build SHA in the settings dialog. The settings UI was also reorganized for better space efficiency.

- Added src/version.py to handle version string formatting from build info.
- Implemented _compute_release_tag in build.py to generate patch versions based on git tags.
- Updated release.yml to fetch all tags and history for accurate version calculation.
- Refactored settings dialog layout into separate toggle and action rows.
- Renamed several buttons in _desktop_backup_buttons.py and dialog.py for conciseness.
- Added a version label to the bottom right of the settings dialog.
