feat: add application versioning support to backend and UI

- Introduce APP_VERSION build argument and environment variable in Dockerfile.
- Load AppVersion from environment variables in the configuration loader.
- Pass the application version to the HTML renderer and expose it to templates via PageData.
- Update tests to verify the version is correctly rendered in the footer.
