DeckCraft v0.10.0

Note

FreeBSD aarch64 is dropped from this release. We had to cut releases, and we cannot build this target within the 5-hour CI limit for any of the Craft apps, so we are dropping it for now. This is a known blocker, flagged for a future fix in storytold/craft-common-actions#39. FreeBSD x86_64 and every other platform are included.
