ksmithandClaude Sonnet 5 4f8fa3272b packaging: pin vendored FreeRDP's own version, stop git-tag bleed-through
third_party/FreeRDP is vendored in-tree rather than as a separate git
submodule, so its build-time git_get_exact_tag() call (in
cmake/GetProjectVersion.cmake) was resolving against OrbitHub's own git
tags instead of any real FreeRDP release tag. Its version-extraction regex
then greedily matched the last three dot-separated numbers of our tag
(e.g. v2026.9.14.2 -> "9.14.2"), mislabeling FreeRDP's own libraries in
packaged builds (libfreerdp9.so.9.14.2 instead of the real
libfreerdp3.so.3.23.1) -- self-consistent within a build, but misleading
and drifting release to release.

Adding .source_tag makes GetProjectVersion.cmake take its file-based
branch (which it already prefers over the git-tag branch) instead.
