Core Lightning v24.08.1: Crash and Bug Fixes

Core Lightning is a lightweight, highly customizable and standard compliant implementation of the Lightning Network protocol.

What's new

No longer crash if a plugin dies during lightningd startup.
Fixed crash when starting channeld for older channel with no local alias.
Will not crash for older pre-tlv peers where send_tlvs is NULL.
Compilation will fail gracefully if jq is missing or an outdated version is detected.
cln-plugin: Change default log level filter back to INFO.
Fixed intermittant bug where hsmd (particularly, but also lightningd) could use 100% CPU.
Made description optional in Wait(any)invoiceResponse to handle BOLT12.
Removed bogus "BROKEN plugin-topology: DEPRECATED API USED: listchannels.include_private" message.
