Integrate GitVersion and add version provider abstraction

- Added GitVersion for semantic versioning and build metadata
- Introduced IVersionProvider and VersionProvider for UI-friendly version display
- MainForm now uses IVersionProvider for version label
- Registered VersionProvider in DI container
- Improved logging: filtered out AutoMapper license logs
- General code cleanup in Program.cs

+This project uses GitVersion (via `GitVersion.MsBuild`) to compute semantic version numbers during build.
+
+How it works:
+- The `GitVersion.MsBuild` package runs during `dotnet build` and sets MSBuild properties such as `Version`, `AssemblyVersion`, `FileVersion`, and `InformationalVersion`.
+- The repository is configured via `.gitversion.yml` at the repo root. Tags and branch names drive the generated semantic version.
+
+Usage notes:
+- Create annotated tags like `v1.2.3` or `1.2.3` to mark releases.
+- In CI, ensure the Git clone includes tags and history (no shallow single-commit clones).
+- The UI should read `AssemblyInformationalVersion` for a friendly version string; fall back to `FileVersion` or `AssemblyName.Version` if needed.
+
+See https://gitversion.net for more configuration options.
