python bindings: get version from package.xml

[scpeters]

🎉 New feature

Similar to gazebosim/gz-math#642 using gazebosim/gz-cmake#456 from gz-cmake 4.1.0

Summary

When building python bindings separately from the main library, the major version of libsdformat has been hard-coded, but this changes it to parse the version number from the package.xml file in this repository using a gz-cmake feature added in gazebosim/gz-cmake#456 and released in 4.1.0. We could also consider using this feature in the root CMakeLists.txt file, but for now it is just used when building python bindings separately from the main library.

Test it

1. Configure the python folder:

cd python
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..

2. Verify that it found sdformat15

-- Looking for sdformat15 -- found version 15.0.0
