stalld v1.26.1 released

Ok, let's try this again without the editor borking up the CC lines and removing my Subject, sigh...

Hi all,

I'm pleased to announce the release of stalld v1.26.1, now available at kernel.org, GitLab, and GitHub.

Overview

This release focuses on build system improvements, adding RISC-V 64-bit architecture support and enhancing cross-platform compatibility through better compiler flag detection.

New Architecture Support

RISC-V 64-bit (riscv64)
- stalld can now be built for RISC-V 64-bit systems
- Adds to existing support for x86_64, aarch64, s390x, i686, and powerpc/ppc64le

Build System Improvements (Wander Lairson Costa)

Compiler Flag Detection
- Added feature detection for -mno-omit-leaf-frame-pointer, fixing builds on s390x and older compilers
- Improved -fcf-protection detection using direct compiler testing instead of GCC version checks
- Removed redundant GCC version check, simplifying the Makefile

Build Process
- BPF tool versions (kernel, clang, bpftool) now printed during build for easier debugging of compilation issues
- Explicit 'test' target in tests directory for clearer build process

Bug Fixes

- Fixed typo: renamed 'merge_taks_info' to 'merge_tasks_info'
- Updated .gitignore to exclude development tool metadata
