Main change

This is a bug fix release of Gemini 3h.

Two notable improvement:

• fix for plotting pausing when replotting starts
• plotting performance improvement by increasing internal concurrency that also increases memory usage (--record-encoding-concurrency 1 can be used to restore old behavior and decrease memory usage)
• Improved timestamps in metrics
• Newly added --disable-farm-locking can be used to disable farm locking for specific use cases (not recommended)

The rest of changes are internal.

Ubuntu and Windows x86-64 builds

There are two versions:

• skylake: for Intel Skylake/AMD Ryzen processors and newer
• x86-64-v2: for older processors since ~2009 and some old VMs
• older processors/VMs are no longer supported by official releases, but can still be compiled manually if desired
• x86-64 container images are built for Skylake/AMD Ryzen processors and newer only
