Change freeze has started

As outlined in
https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/virtio/202304/msg00036.html ff., as part of the release process for the 1.3 version of the virtio spec, we have now entered change freeze. This means that the only changes to the main virtio branch will now be those needed for the 1.3 release (administrative and editorial.) We hope to have something ready for vote in August.

For any changes for the next virtio release, please target the virtio-1.4 branch, which will eventually merge back into the main development branch once 1.3 has been released. (This next release might not be called 1.4, but that should be inconsequential here.)
