OpenWrt 24.10.0-rc1 - First release candidate

Release and security announcements
45

It's far enough along that I could give it a test on x86/64. Making this possible is the fact that I have a magical ASU server that is running a couple of pending PRs (sorry, it's on a VM in my lab here so not accessible to the general public).

I first installed 23.05.5 on an N5105 minipc, then ran auc -b 24.10 -B 24.10.0-rc2 and the install ran fine. Once it booted into 24.10.0-rc2, I did a test opkg update && opkg install kmod-drm-i915 to try out the new DRM-in-kmod stuff for x86. Man, that thing is HUGE, my package size calculator shows 6,274,644 bytes used by 'kmod-drm-i915' and its unique packages. YOW

I then set up a 24.10.0-rc1 VM (using a buildroot image so I could add a bunch of packages without messing around on-device). On that box I did owut upgrade and stood back. Worked fine again and opkg list kmod* | wc -l shows 1108 packages, so that's nice.

Note that this won't work for you yet, the ASU server still needs a couple fixes to make it work with 24.10. This applies to all builds run by LuCI ASU app, auc, owut and Firmware Selector.
