What's Changed

• Drop Preallocation of Page Table Pages @os-d (#276)
  
  Change Details

    ## Description

  With the introduction of the self map in the paging crate, it is no longer required to preallocate page table pages. This commit removes the preallocation and instead allocates 512 pages to the page table pool on demand.

  Note: this depends on the paging PR and uefi-core PR to go in first and be released, this will be updated in response.

• CiWorkflow.yml: Allow any branch for dry run @Javagedes (#292)
  
  Change Details

    ## Description

  The dry run step fails when CI is executed on a merge into 'main' because the allowed branches do not include 'main'. This PR allows any branch so that merges into main pass the post-merge CI.

• CI: dry run publishing to a registry @Javagedes (#290)
  
  Change Details

    ## Description

  Changes to a crate's Cargo.toml package
  information can result in a crate not being able
  to publish to a registry (such as a description
  missing). This PR adds a new step to our CI that
  attempts to publish the crate to the registry
  before the PR is merged. This will ensure the
  break will be caught before it is merged in,
  instead of during the release process.

• LF conversion part 2 @Javagedes (#287)
  
  Change Details

    ## Description

  rustfmt only affects *.rs files, not Toml files. Pair that with the fact that I missed dos2unix **/* did not actually apply the conversion recursively means many non-rust files were missed in the original conversion, that were not in the top-level directory.

  This commit runs find . -type f | xargs dos2unix to convert all files in the repository to LF line endings.
