yMMSL v0.16 released with incorrect `ymmsl.__version__`

[maarten-ic]

yMMSL v0.16 was released with an incorrect __version__ = '0.15.1-dev'. See:

ymmsl-python/ymmsl/__init__.py

Line 14 in 1f54385

__version__ = '0.15.1-dev'

Workaround: use importlib.metadata.version("ymmsl") to query the version of the installed yMMSL library.

Ouch! I use the MUSCLE3 release process documentation to release ymmsl-python because it doesn't have any of its own. But the version tags work differently between them, and that led to this mistake.

So we need one place to put the version, and putting it in the pyproject.toml, from there in the package metadata, and then getting it from there for __version__ makes sense.

We could also use setuptools_scm to get the version from the latest git tag and set it as dynamic in the pyproject.toml.
This is how we set it up in sphinx-ymmsl: https://github.com/multiscale/sphinx-ymmsl/blob/main/pyproject.toml#L2

Ah yes, even better. I'll steal that one for the next release 😄
