Package BitNetSharp.App as a .NET tool and BitNetSharp.Core as a NuGet artifact in CI

[Copilot]

This updates the pipeline to produce the two distributable artifacts the repo needs: a .NET tool package for BitNetSharp.App and a NuGet package for BitNetSharp.Core. It also adds the minimal project metadata required for those packs to succeed consistently in CI.

• Project packaging metadata

  • Mark BitNetSharp.App as a packable .NET tool
  • Set the tool command name to bitnetsharp
  • Add minimal NuGet package identity/description metadata to BitNetSharp.Core

• CI packaging flow

  • Extend the existing build workflow to run dotnet pack for:
    • src/BitNetSharp.Core/BitNetSharp.Core.csproj
    • src/BitNetSharp.App/BitNetSharp.App.csproj
  • Upload both generated .nupkg files as workflow artifacts
  • Use ${{ github.workspace }} for package paths so the workflow remains portable across runners

• Artifact outputs

  • BitNetSharp.Core is emitted as a standard library NuGet package
  • BitNetSharp.App is emitted as an installable .NET tool package with the expected entrypoint

<PropertyGroup>
  <PackAsTool>true</PackAsTool>
  <ToolCommandName>bitnetsharp</ToolCommandName>
</PropertyGroup>

Addressed in 3f1ef10. Package versioning is now centralized in Directory.Build.props with a shared VersionPrefix, and the workflow pack steps append only a CI prerelease suffix so both the tool and NuGet package use a repo-defined version consistently.
