What's new in this version:

- Work around "Allow loading system extension" loop
- To support new macOS features, macFUSE includes multiple variants of the macFUSE kernel extension. In some cases, the macOS kernel manager tries to load the wrong variant and prompts the user to allow loading it. Then after the necessary restart, the user is prompted again, for a different variant. This continues forever.
- Starting with this release, all kernel extension variants use unique bundle identifiers
- Revert to semantic version number for kernel extension variants
- Enable support for non-blocking I/O for FUSE file descriptor
- Use macOS 14.4 SDK instead of macOS 14.2 SDK to build macOS 14 kernel extension
