refactor: update CI/CD, avoid kinds dependency

- used setup-fortran-conda action for CI/CD
- Updated README.md
- Created VERSION file
- Removed deprecated ford.yml file
- Enhanced fpm.rsp with detailed CI configurations for various platforms
- Updated fpm.toml with new project metadata and dependencies
- Refactored code to use forsolver_kinds module instead of kinds
- Updated test files to reflect changes in module usage
