This release brings several important improvements and fixes:

interceptor: Avoid heap allocation during suspend. By storing the suspended thread IDs into a GumMetalArray instead of a GQueue, we prevent deadlocks when a suspended thread is holding the dlmalloc lock. Thanks to @mrmacete for this improvement.
linux: Fix ModuleRegistry initialization when ELF is missing. When enumerating RTLD notifiers and loaded modules to find a DT_DEBUG entry, we no longer assume the ELF file is present. This fixes issues when the program was loaded from a memfd and spawned without a file.
elf-module: Use live memory if unable to map file. For modules backed by a memfd, we now utilize the in-memory ELF rather than giving up if we cannot map the file.
linux: Rework glibc pthread internals detection. Instead of parsing machine code to determine internals, we now start threads to solve the puzzle in a more robust fashion.
