Design Automation for Revit ignores `PackageContents.xml` configuration.

[ricaun]

By default Design Automation for Revit selects the first ComponentEntry in the PackageContents.xml ignoring the version defined in the RuntimeRequirements.

In the example below, the version 2021 of the .addin is loaded by default even if is selected the engine for Revit 2025.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ApplicationPackage SchemaVersion="1.0" AutodeskProduct="Revit" Name="RevitAddin.DA.Tester" AppVersion="1.3.0" ProductType="Application" ProductCode="7c324916-9f8d-43b0-b226-da67d2504393">
  <Components Description="Revit 2021">
    <RuntimeRequirements OS="Win64" Platform="Revit" SeriesMin="R2021" SeriesMax="R2021" />
    <ComponentEntry AppName="RevitAddin.DA.Tester" ModuleName=".\Contents\RevitAddin.DA.Tester\1.3.0-beta.1\2021\RevitAddin.DA.Tester.addin" />
  </Components>
  <Components Description="Revit 2025">
    <RuntimeRequirements OS="Win64" Platform="Revit" SeriesMin="R2025" SeriesMax="R2025" />
    <ComponentEntry AppName="RevitAddin.DA.Tester" ModuleName=".\Contents\RevitAddin.DA.Tester\1.3.0-beta.1\2025\RevitAddin.DA.Tester.addin" />
  </Components>
</ApplicationPackage>

A reusable solution would be to first search for the right version of the engine in the bundle. And if the version does not exist in the PackageContents.xml, select the first one like in the current version of the DA4R Revit 2025 (RVTDA 04-04-2024).
