Update versions

Edit the files below to update the version number embedded in them.

See previous commits for exact places.

git commit -m "monado: Update version" CMakeLists.txt vcpkg.json

Tag the code

Do the tagging from git, do not do it from GitLab. Also, make sure to prefix the version with v so that e.g. 24.0.0 becomes v24.0.0. The -s flag signs the tag.

git tag v24.0.0 -m "v24.0.0" -a -s

Do GitLab release

The GitLab UI has a friendly interface, follow the guide there.
