Update all Condition expressions to use '$(Property)' string comparisons for true/false and empty checks, instead of relying on unquoted property expansions.
Added `AppDataDeployDir` to specify the deployment directory for Revit add-ins. Updated the copying and cleaning processes to use the new path instead of the previous hardcoded location, ensuring proper management of add-in files during the build process.
Introduce the AppendVersion property (with an optional VersionDelimiter) to deploy the add-in into a versioned folder instead of using the bare assembly name. When this is enabled, the manifest’s Assembly path and the clean step are updated to target the versioned folder.
Update Readme.md to include a new section on enabling versioned folder deployment for Revit add-ins. Document the default local deployment behavior, how to use the AppendVersion property as well as the optional VersionDelimiter, and provide an example XML configuration.
Added an optional DeployToProgramData flag to allow deploying the Revit add-in under %ProgramData% instead of %AppData%, centralized the DeployDir logic so all deploy/update/clean targets use the same base path, and introduced the AddinManifestFileName ($(AssemblyName).addin) property to reference the manifest consistently across all targets and the PowerShell update step.

Summary of the Pull Request
What is this about:
Add an option to deploy the Revit add-in to %ProgramData% instead of %AppData% during local deployment.
Description:
This change introduces a new DeployToProgramData MSBuild property and a shared DeployDir abstraction used by all deploy/update/clean targets. When DeployToProgramData is set to true, the add-in is deployed under %ProgramData%\Autodesk\Revit\Addins$(RevitVersion); otherwise, it continues to use the existing %AppData%\Autodesk\Revit\Addins$(RevitVersion) location.
