chore(perf): bump version to 9.0.40 to match MAUI 9.0.40

Update version from 9.0.0 to 9.0.40 to align precisely with MAUI 9.0.40 release. Update CHANGELOG, package metadata, and templates. Fix thread safety issue in FontFallbackManager by changing _glyphCache from Dictionary to ConcurrentDictionary to prevent race conditions during concurrent glyph lookups.

-# CLAUDE.md - OpenMaui XAML Reconstruction
-
-## CURRENT TASK: Reconstruct XAML from Decompiled Code
-
-The sample applications (ShellDemo, TodoApp, XamlBrowser) were recovered from decompiled DLLs. The XAML files were compiled away - we have only the generated `InitializeComponent()` code. **Screenshots will be provided** to help verify visual accuracy.

-## How to Reconstruct XAML
-
-### Step 1: Read the decompiled InitializeComponent()
-
-Look for patterns like:
-```csharp
-// Setting a property
-((BindableObject)val8).SetValue(Label.TextProperty, (object)"OpenMaui");
-
-// AppThemeBinding (light/dark mode)
-val7.Light = "White";
-val7.Dark = "#E0E0E0";
-
-// StaticResource
-val.Key = "PrimaryColor";
-
-// Layout hierarchy
-((Layout)val12).Children.Add((IView)(object)val6);
-```
-
-### Step 2: Convert to XAML
-
-```csharp
-// This C#:
-((BindableObject)val8).SetValue(Label.TextProperty, (object)"OpenMaui");
-((BindableObject)val8).SetValue(Label.FontSizeProperty, (object)22.0);
-((BindableObject)val8).SetValue(Label.FontAttributesProperty, (object)(FontAttributes)1);
-val7.Light = "White";
-val7.Dark = "#E0E0E0";
-((BindableObject)val8).SetBinding(Label.TextColorProperty, val74);
-```
-
-```xml
-<!-- Becomes this XAML: -->
-<Label Text="OpenMaui"
-       FontSize="22"
-       FontAttributes="Bold"
-       TextColor="{AppThemeBinding Light=White, Dark=#E0E0E0}" />
-```
-
-### Step 3: Verify with screenshots (when provided)
-
-Compare the reconstructed XAML against the actual screenshots to ensure visual fidelity.

-## Key Patterns in Decompiled Code
-
-### 1. Color Values
-```csharp
-Color val = new Color(11f / 85f, 0.5882353f, 81f / 85f, 1f);
-// = Color.FromRgba(0.129, 0.588, 0.953, 1.0) = #2196F3
-```
-
-### 2. AppThemeBinding
-```csharp
-AppThemeBindingExtension val7 = new AppThemeBindingExtension();
-val7.Light = "White";
-val7.Dark = "#E0E0E0";
-```
-Becomes: `{AppThemeBinding Light=White, Dark=#E0E0E0}`
-
-### 3. StaticResource
-```csharp
-val.Key = "PrimaryColor";
-```
-Becomes: `{StaticResource PrimaryColor}`
-
-### 4. Layout Hierarchy
-```csharp
-((Layout)val12).Children.Add((IView)(object)val6);
-((Layout)val12).Children.Add((IView)(object)val11);
-```
-The children are added in order - first child is val6, second is val11.
-
-### 5. FontAttributes Enum
-```csharp
-(FontAttributes)1  // Bold
-(FontAttributes)2  // Italic
-```
-
----
-
-## Workflow for Each File
-
-1. **Read decompiled** `InitializeComponent()` method
-2. **Extract** all UI elements and their properties
-3. **Write XAML** with proper structure
-4. **Create code-behind** (usually just constructor calling InitializeComponent)
-5. **Verify** against screenshot if available
-6. **Update tracking** in this file
-7. **Commit** with descriptive message
-
----
-
-## Notes
-
-- The decompiled code has ALL the information needed - it's just in C# form instead of XAML
-- Screenshots will help verify visual accuracy
-- Focus on one file at a time
-- Commit after each completed file
