Aether 0.848.0

What's new in 0.848.0

Changed

• make install defaults to ~/.aether, and ./install.sh --contrib-too
  installs the contrib archives too. make install and make install-contrib defaulted to PREFIX=/usr/local, unlike install.sh and
  docs/install-layout.md, so the documented sudo make install left a
  root-owned toolchain that ae and the compiler fall back to from every other
  checkout, and that only sudo could remove. Both targets now default to
  ~/.aether. As root they refuse to run without an explicit PREFIX, since
  under sudo the default would be root's home; a system install is sudo make install PREFIX=/usr/local. install.sh takes --contrib-too, which
  builds the contrib archives for the modules whose dev libraries are present
  and installs them before the version is recorded, so ae use carries them.
  Flags and the prefix combine in any order, and an unknown flag is refused
  instead of becoming the install directory. docs/bootstrap-from-source.md
  now leads with ./install.sh --contrib-too.

Fixed

• Pure TLS server connections close their descriptor exactly once (#3138).
  The TLS bridge owns each accepted descriptor on success and failure; HTTP
  teardown no longer closes the same number again after another worker may
  have reused it. Refused handshakes also release their socket wrapper, and
  tcp.close releases the descriptor even after a peer EOF or receive error.
