Added

Changed

Modernized Docker test images: replaced EOL centos/debian bases, moved built images to ghcr.io, dropped to a non-root build user
Migrated SonarCloud scanning to its automatic PR analysis and pinned GitHub Actions to commit SHA hashes

Fixed

readlinkat(2) with an empty pathname on a dirfd opened with O_PATH|O_NOFOLLOW no longer aborts the tracer (#182)
Broken Ubuntu rootfs link in the docs
Assorted CodeQL/SonarCloud findings: unchecked write_data() return in the portmap extension, deprecated bzero, an invalid %z format specifier, and stale comments
