A large amount of updates to all libraries after a six month absence.

Updates around text for icu, freetype and harfbuzz. The imaging libraries libjpeg-turbo, libwebp, openjpeg, and libjxl, along with its requirement highway received updates. The libjxl update is a release candidate but its been almost a year since the last release so it was integrated. XML parsing was updated in libxml2 and libxslt to address a number of issues. A new minor version for nghttp2 and sqlite as well.

Cairo receives an update after not having a snapshot since the end of 2020. The port has a new CMake port which mirrors the meson build added to that repository.

Biggest updates is HTTP/3 support for curl built on top of nghttp3/ngtcp2 and using boringssl instead of libressl.

Release contains a Windows x86 build. The lcms library isn't building properly for that target so it and the other requirements of libjxl are not included. A WinCairo built with this will not have support for JPEG XL.

Release also contains a Windows x64 build with support for HTTP/3. This will become the default configuration after HTTP/3 is working in the WinCairo browser.

This is likely the last release of the requirements to contain CFLite as support for building WebKitLegacy is dropped.
