[ANNOUNCE] QEMU 9.2.0-rc3 is now available

[Michael Roth]

Hello,

On behalf of the QEMU Team, I'd like to announce the availability of the
fourth release candidate for the QEMU 9.2 release. This release is meant
for testing purposes and should not be used in a production environment.

A note from the maintainer:

  Hopefully rc3 will be the last release candidate before we release
  QEMU 9.2. If all goes well, we will make the release next week on
  the 10th of December. If we need to fix any last release-critical
  bugs, we'll make an rc4 on the 10th and the final release the week
  after that.

You can help improve the quality of the QEMU 9.2 release by testing this
release and reporting bugs using our GitLab issue tracker:

  https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/milestones/14

The release plan, as well a documented known issues for release
candidates, are available at:

Please add entries to the ChangeLog for the 9.2 release below:

Thank you to everyone involved!
