Changelog: 2023.04 - Worst Dependent

Highlights of Worst Dependent

The update includes various changes to the installation script, bug fixes, updates to documentation, and improvements to the search-pattern command. Some changes involve updating the GH Action runners, ARM improvement (fixing CPSR and pointer size calculation) and Safe-Linking support (for GLibc >= 2.32 compat)
Code stability has been improved with an increased coverage check through test. Last, more documentation was added making it more accessible and easily searchable.
