🐛(backend) read the Sentry release from pyproject.toml

get_release() read the version from a version.json file  but nothing generates
it during the CI Docker image build, therefore the release reported to Sentry
was always "NA".

Read the version from pyproject.toml instead, which is bumped at each
release and copied into the image.
