Finish the TMS Smart Setup definition and add the version file #87

tmsbuild.yaml is now the master copy of the entry that goes into the
community registry (folder bero.boldfordelphi): root package folder
"packages" with the three per-version folders, one design-time package
dclBold, VCL from Delphi 11, Win32, standard LIBSUFFIX AUTO names,
version taken from version.txt. The "homepage" key is left out because
tms 3.5 rejects it; url doubles as the home page.

Verified with tms 3.5 building this repository as a local product folder
for Delphi 13: dclBold compiled in Release and Debug with the package's
defines, registration skipped by configuration. That build writes its
output under packages\<version>\Win32, now ignored.

The release checklist gets the version.txt bump and the registry mirror
step.
