dzBdsLauncher 1.0.5 released with major improvements

[dummzeuch 1517]

I revisited my dzBdsLauncher tool again – no idea why, it just occurred to me 😉 – and added quite a few improvements:

• It now supports .dof (Delphi 6 and 7) and .bdsproj (Delphi 2005 and 2006) files.
• In addition to the previous checks it now also looks at the disabled packages list to determine which Delphi version to start. That’s the only option for Delphi 2005 and 2006 because these files are nearly identical.
• It can now also handle .dpr files by looking for corresponding .dproj, .bdsproj and .dof files (in that order) and taking these to determine the correct Delphi version.

As a side effect I found a problem with the Delphi 10.1 version of the GExperts .dproj file. It had a wrong ProjectVersion entry.
