The IO::CaptureOutput perl module is deprecated, so we switch to
Capture::Tiny. We also remove some uses of IO::CaptureOutput where it
was not needed.

jq and 7zip are both absolutely required, 7zip just recently.
bison, tcl, gyp and python3-venv are scattered around as dependency.
wget is also definitely required, but it's not available in a minimal
docker image.

Besides this, python3, not python2 is required, similarly jdk 11 instead
of 8.

Improve the formatting of the installer, and update the language list
to match the one in rbm.conf (even though it would be good to keep the
lists synchronized automatically).

Also, include the channel name in the displayed name and in the default
install directory (except for release).

Since we are changing many lines, I took the ocasion to switch to LF
line endings (NSIS accepts them).

Our APK was refused by the Play Store as too big.
As a workaround, for this release we can try to compress the APK more,
by extracting it and repacking it with 7-zip.
The preferred and long-term solution would be to switch to Android App
Bundles, but this might require some changes to our signing scripts.

After a reboot, the time on our signing machine is incorrect. To avoid
signing a release with incorrect timestamps, we set the time on the
signing machine at the beginning of the signing process.

Tor Browser gpg key has been updated with a new expiration date on its
current subkey.

The update allows us to delete the no-reloc-section patch, and while we
are at it, we can replace the no-insert-timestamp patch with
SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH, which we set as the creation date of the Source
directory form the tarball.

NSIS officially supports only MSVC and GCC as compilers, so it was one
of the two projects forcing us to keep a GCC toolchain for Windows.
With this commit, we adapt the tricks Mozilla uses to build NSIS with
Clang, and remove the dependency on mingw-w64.

The main trick is to use the GNU assembler instead of Clang's internal
one to build NSIS's system plugin. Luckily, it can be found in
binutils, without a full GCC build.

We modified TorSettings to handle pt_config.json, so we do not need to
convert it to pref lines anymore, but we need to inject the updated
file to omni.ja.

Bump the GeckoView tag to fix a bridge migration problem found during
the QA.

Go 1.21 removed support for Windows 7 and 8.
However, Firefox still supports them, so some users try Tor Browser but
cannot use PTs.
We cannot replicate the problem on our Windows 7 systems, but using Go
1.20.x for Windows should solve the problem for them.
Snowflake is still on 1.21 because it is needed for some Pion changes.

We had shipped an archive with debug symbols for a long time now.
However, users needed instructions on how to use it, because the files
needed to be moved to be used.
With this commit, it will be possible to just extract the tarball where
the tor-browser directory is located.

We could dump more information about the time it takes to build Firefox
to possibly improve our build strategies.

Add a file to make it easier to detect the version of Mullvad Browser
installed, like the tbb_version.json file we have in Tor Browser.

Update the release preparations for the new changelog script arguments
and also to fix some steps that were not correct anymore.

Pass the new version of components as arguments to avoid having to
change the changelog output after it has been generated by the script.

Since we don't have a `-nightly` target anymore, we don't need to keep
`-alpha` in the other targets.
