TruffleRuby 24.0.0

TruffleRuby is a high-performance implementation of the Ruby programming language.
TruffleRuby aims to be fully compatible with the standard implementation of Ruby, MRI.
More information is available on the website: http://www.graalvm.org/ruby/
TruffleRuby comes in two standalone modes, native and jvm, for both Oracle GraalVM and Community Edition.
See the documentation for which release asset corresponds to what.

Changelog

New features:

• C/C++ extensions are now compiled using the system toolchain and executed natively instead of using GraalVM LLVM (Sulong). This leads to faster startup, no warmup, better compatibility, smaller distribution and faster installation for C/C++ extensions (#3118, @eregon).
• Full support for the Ruby 3.2 and Ruby 3.3 syntax by adopting the Prism parser, which is about twice as fast as the old parser (#3117, #3038, #3039, @andrykonchin, @eregon).
• Pattern matching is now fully supported (#3332, #2683, @eregon, @razetime).

Bug fixes:

• Fix rb_enc_left_char_head() so it is not always ArgumentError (#3267, @eregon).
• Fix IO.copy_stream with a Tempfile destination (#3280, @eregon).

• Implement Class#attached_object method (#3039, @andrykonchin).
• Fix ENV#{clone,dup} and raise TypeError (#3039, @andrykonchin).
• Fix Coverage.supported? and raise TypeError if argument is not Symbol (#3039, @andrykonchin).
• Accept options argument to Regexp.{new,compile} of String and warn for unknown types (#3039, @rwstauner).
• Implement Time#deconstruct_keys from Ruby 3.2 (#3039, @rwstauner).

• Add rb_enc_interned_str_cstr function (#3408, @goyox86, @thomasmarshall).
• Add rb_str_to_interned_str function (#3408, @thomasmarshall).

Performance:

• Change the Hash representation from traditional buckets to a "compact hash table" for improved locality, performance and memory footprint (#3172, @moste00).
• Optimize calls with ruby2_keywords forwarding by deciding it per call site instead of per callee thanks to my fix in CRuby 3.2 (@eregon).
