Add Support for Version Numbers and Additional Information (e.g., Website URL) in VST3 and macOS Components Export #12

@JeffMcClintock Description: Currently, when exporting VST3 plugins and macOS Components using SynthEdit 1.5, there is no straightforward way to embed important metadata such as version numbers and additional information (e.g., website URL) into the exported files. This metadata is essential for plugin management, updates, and providing users with relevant information about the plugin.

Enhancement Request: It would be a significant improvement if SynthEdit 1.5 included options to add version numbers, website URLs, and other relevant metadata during the export process. This metadata should be embedded both in VST3 files and macOS Component bundles.

Suggested Implementation:

Introduce fields in the export settings for inputting: Plugin version number Website URL Contact information (optional) Additional notes or description Ensure this metadata is correctly embedded according to VST3 and macOS Component standards.

Benefits:

Provides end-users with essential information about the plugin. Facilitates easier version control and updates for developers. Improves professionalism and consistency across plugin releases.
