GHC 9.12.1 updates and rc1 status

[Zubin Duggal]

Hi,

The patches I was waiting for have been merged, but I am
still waiting on some boot library maintainers to finalise
the commits that will be shipped with the release. I hope
to have the rc1 release out by the end of the week.

Also keeping in mind the wishes of many in the community to
have a longer testing cycle between the release candidates
and the final release, the final release will be pushed back
to two weeks after the date of the final release candidate.

The tentative schedule as of now is:

RC1: 2024-11-29
Final: 2024-12-13

Thanks,
Zubin.
