fix: F&R case handling, correct version in standalone builds (#163, #165) (v1.9.274)

- Disable QCompleter on F&R HistoryComboBox so uppercase history entries
  no longer overwrite lowercase input (#163)
- Bundle pyproject.toml in PyInstaller builds so _read_version() finds
  the correct version instead of falling back to a stale hardcoded string (#165)
- Add importlib.metadata fallback in _read_version() for pip installs
- Fix create_release_zip.py to read version from pyproject.toml directly
- Make macOS spec read CFBundleVersion dynamically from pyproject.toml

+### Bug Fixes

+- **Find & Replace: uppercase history no longer overwrites lowercase input** — The `HistoryComboBox` in the F&R dialog had an auto-created `QCompleter` with case-insensitive matching, which forced previously searched uppercase terms (e.g. "COMMISSIONING") over lowercase input. Disabled the completer; the dropdown history is still accessible via the arrow button. Resolves [#163](https://github.com/michaelbeijer/Supervertaler/issues/163).
+- **Standalone builds now show the correct version number** — PyInstaller `.exe` builds always displayed "v1.9.227" because `pyproject.toml` was not bundled, causing `_read_version()` to fall back to a hardcoded string. Fixed by: (1) adding `pyproject.toml` to the `datas` list in both Windows and macOS `.spec` files, (2) adding an `importlib.metadata` fallback for `pip install` users, (3) fixing `create_release_zip.py` to read the version from `pyproject.toml` instead of regex-parsing `Supervertaler.py`, and (4) making the macOS `.spec` read `CFBundleVersion` dynamically from `pyproject.toml` instead of a hardcoded stale value. Resolves [#165](https://github.com/michaelbeijer/Supervertaler/issues/165).
