v0.2.4

What's Changed

• Some work on Dynarec to limit the number of mutex use, and also allow smaller block to be built (for JIT'd programs)
• Introduce BOX86_DYNAREC_STRONGMEM, like with box64 (not found any program that needs that yet)
• More vulkan wrapped function (so dkvk works, at least with RX550)
• Reworked Elfloader part, with better handling of versionned symbols
• Improve speed for x87 code (by avoiding many float<->double conversion)
• Improve speed of the custom allocator used by dynarec and Hash (speedup loading)
• Added a detection of box64 in uname call, to expose an x86_64 system instead of i386 one
• Added a fix for linking box86 on system using glibc 2.34+
• A few more wrapped libs
• More ARM hardware option in CMake (Phytium, SD845)
• Changed a bit struture of Dynarec, switching some operations from Pass1 to Pass0
• Small fixes to elfloader
• Some fixes and improvments on wrapped libs (mainly gtk2, gtk3 and d3dadpter)
• Better VSyscall implementation
• Fixed the "Alternate" handling (address shadowing on x86 side)
• A few opcodes border case fixes
• Improved wrapper helpers (from rajdakin)
• Added a mecanism to cancel a Dynarec block construction if it triggers a segfault (instead of a crash)
• Improvment to the handling of longjmp inside signal handlers
