[24.2] Merge upstream release/graal-vm/24.2 branch into mandrel/24.2

[jerboaa]

Just a version bump from upstream and building with latest JDK 24/ea.

@jerboaa something looks strange in this PR, I don't see which commit is responsible for the ga -> ea change in the pipelines.

Since it looks like upstream is only one commit ahead of mandrel, may I suggest cherry-picking the "new dev cycle" commit and adding another commit with the pipeline update to keep things simple(r)?

I though @jerboaa did the changes manually due to conflicts.

Not sure how this happened. Maybe I had those changes locally when I started the merge. Removed now.

I've just done a fresh merge which looks cleaner. OK now?

@jerboaa it looks good now, but it's missing the ga -> ea change in https://github.com/graalvm/mandrel/blob/mandrel/24.2/.github/workflows/mandrel.yml shall we push this in a different PR?

Update; NVM I just saw #859

Thanks. I'll merge this once CI is green.
