What's new in this version:

General:
- Update build process to use Xcode 26.2 (macOS 26.2 SDK)

Kernel Extension (Kernel Backend):
- Update kernel extension to version 5.1.3
- Add special handling for the O_EXEC open flag to prevent a kernel panic. Internally, O_EXEC is treated as O_RDONLY, meaning a readable file descriptor will be requested from the file system server.

FSModule (FSKit Backend):
- Introduce foundational changes in preparation for new features in macFUSE 5.2

libfuse3:
- Fix an issue that resulted in the extended attribute name passed to the setxattr handler always being an empty string. On macOS, FUSE_COMPAT_SETXATTR_IN_SIZE needs to account for the additional position field and its associated padding.
