Weekly release for Jan 5, 2026

Release Summary:

• Enables certificate intent validation by default. This also adds a config API s2n_config_disable_x509_intent_verification() to disable it if necessary
• Fixed an issue where selected_key_exchange_group for a resumed TLS 1.2 connection would incorrectly report secp256r1.
