New features

This is an intermediate release preparing the branch 2 that will use the poudriere-image framework in place of NanoBSD.

• New features:
• Based on FreeBSD 15-head 8f6b66a9d3f and ports tree d995a1532b1b (21-01-2025)
• New packages:
• dns/dnsmasq (will replace isc-dhcp44 and dhcprelya)
• python 3.11 (this one added more than 100M of libs)
• Removed packages:
• freevrrpd (carp is now supporting VRRP mode)
• ucarp (no more conflict once carp enabled in VRRP mode)
• net/aquantia-atlantic-kmod (does not build on latest head)
• Deprecated packages (will be removed in next release):
• isc-dhcp44 (use dnsmasq, kea requires 300MB disk space with its dependencies)
• dhcprelya (use dnsmasq)
