Add `version.json` to match go-multibase

go-multibase has a version.json file that tracks the library version. py-multibase should have one for consistency across the multiformats ecosystem.

Problem

go-multibase includes:

{
  "version": "v0.6.0"
}

This file is used by ecosystem tooling to track version compatibility across implementations. py-multibase does not have this file — version info exists only in pyproject.toml and __init__.py.

Proposed Solution

1. Create version.json at the repository root:

   {
     "version": "v2.0.0"
   }
   

2. Add it to the bump-my-version configuration in pyproject.toml:

   [[tool.bumpversion.files]]
   filename = "version.json"
   search = '"version": "v{current_version}"'
   replace = '"version": "v{new_version}"'

• Go equivalent: go-multibase version.json

Start with the existing version settings in pyproject.toml and compare the repository-root version.json format with the linked go-multibase example. Add version.json with the current v2.0.0 value and configure bump-my-version to update it; done means both files are present and future version bumps include version.json.
