Report a version that means something, and set it to 0.5.0

"Version: 0.1.0" was a literal in three separate print statements, so
every release ever published reported 0.1.0 regardless of the tag it was
built from — v0.1.38-test included. It now comes from one constant.

Sets that constant to 0.5.0 and dates the changelog entry. The earlier
releases are being deleted rather than left in place: each shipped a
transfer path that had never moved data and a bind that recorded devices
without serving them, so there is nothing there worth keeping.

-## [Unreleased]
+## [v0.5.0] - 2026-08-06
+
+First release in which the software does what it claims. Every prior release shipped a
+transfer path that had never moved data, and a `bind` that recorded devices without
+serving them. Those releases have been deleted rather than left to mislead.
+
+The version number also means something now: it was hardcoded as "0.1.0" in three
+separate print statements, so every previous release reported 0.1.0 regardless of its
+tag.
 
 ### Fixed — USB transfers now reach real hardware
