1.2.0

This release brings some major advancements:

▸ SIMD in the interpreter, on any Java from 11 up. All 236 instructions, plain Java, no flags, no extra module.
▸ GC-friendly native memory for redline, our Cranelift-based native compiler: off-heap code, memories and tables are released when the Java objects using them become unreachable. Closing an instance is now optional.
▸ Atomics that behave the same across memory implementations, and no longer collapse on JDK 25.
▸ A compileModule() API that lets the heap drop the parsed bodies of compiled functions.
