This updates the usual doc suspects for our upcoming R202409 release. As a reminder we try to highlight things in the changelog that we think most site admins would be interested in* and tell them to look in the git history for the full details. The order is roughly what I think is the most important first which is very subjective.

Feedback on what was included, the order of the things listed, and any other thoughts are appreciated!

* I also ensure that every developer who contributed to the release has an item in the CHANGELOG.md file too.

Scripts supporting this upgrade are in `SETUP/upgrade/21`

**This is the last release to support PHP 7.4. Future releases will only
support PHP 8.0 and later.**
support PHP 8.1 and later.**

Rationale behind this:

  • PHP 8.0 is already out of support.
  • PHP 8.1 is in Ubuntu 22.04 which is still supported. It also includes some useful type features. We tested with PHP 8.1 on the clone system earlier this year and know it works.
  • PHP 8.3 is what will be running on PROD after the upgrade later this year.

* XML feed types removed and feed backend improved (mrducky4)
* Navigation bar updates for smaller screens (cpeel)
* New site search page (cpeel)
* `past_tallies` is now a sparse table (cpeel)

Should the new revised mentor page be included?

I don't think so, it's a pretty minor change for a pretty small subset of users.
