jj checkout and jj merge are both deprecated; use jj new instead to
replace both of these commands in all instances.

Rationale: jj checkout and jj merge both implement identical
functionality, which is a subset of jj new. checkout creates a new working
copy commit on top of a single specified revision, i.e. with one parent.
merge creates a new working copy commit on top of at least two specified
revisions, i.e. with two or more parents.

The only difference between these commands and jj new, which also creates
a new working copy commit, is that new can create a working copy commit on
top of any arbitrary number of revisions, so it can handle both the previous
cases at once. The only actual difference between these three commands is the
command syntax and their name. These names were chosen to be familiar to users
of other version control systems, but we instead encourage all users to adopt
jj new instead; it is more general and easier to remember than both of
these.

jj checkout and jj merge will no longer be shown as part of jj help, but
will still function for now, emitting a warning about their deprecation.

Deadline: jj checkout and jj merge will be deleted and are expected
become a hard error later in 2024.
jj init --git and jj init --git-repo are now deprecated and will be removed
in the near future.

Use jj git init instead.

(Minor) Diff summaries (e.g. jj diff -s) now use D for "Deleted" instead
of R for "Removed". @joyously pointed out that R could also mean
"Renamed".
jj util completion now takes the shell as a positional argument, not a flag.
the previous behavior is deprecated, but supported for now. it will be removed
in the future.

jj util completion now supports powershell and elvish.
Official binaries for macOS running on Apple Silicon (aarch64-apple-darwin)
are now available, alongside the existing macOS x86 binaries.
New jj op abandon command is added to clean up the operation history. Git
refs and commit objects can be further compacted by jj util gc.
jj util gc now removes unreachable operation, view, and Git objects.
jj branch rename will now warn if the renamed branch has a remote branch, since
those will have to be manually renamed outside of jj.
jj git push gained a --tracked option, to push all the tracked branches.
There's now a virtual root operation, similar to the virtual root
commit. It appears at the end of jj op log.
jj config list gained a --include-overridden option to allow
printing overridden config values.
jj config list now accepts --user or --repo option to specify
config origin.
New jj config path command to print the config file path without launching
an editor.
jj tag list command prints imported git tags.
jj next and jj prev now prompt in the event of the next/previous commit
being ambiguous, instead of failing outright.
jj resolve now displays the file being resolved.
jj workspace root was aliased to jj root, for ease of discoverability
jj diff no longer shows the contents of binary files.
jj git now has an init command that initializes a git backed repo.
New template function surround(prefix, suffix, content) is added.

Fixed snapshots of symlinks in gitignore-d directory.
#2878
Fixed data loss in dirty working copy when checked-out branch is rebased or
abandoned by Git.
