Fixes needed before next fink release

macOS 14 (Sonoma) just went into release candidate, so the final will 
probably be released real soon now. AFAICT, we have support through 
14.0RC in master, so in theory a release should be doable.

The new release tracker is at https://github.com/fink/fink/issues/254

There are 3 action items there.

1. Sync up files in dists/10.9-libcxxx to match with changes from 
fink/fink/10.9-libcxx (#250)
2. Add Source-Checksum: SHA256() to stuff in dists/base as well as 
fink/fink, but this shouldn't be a blocker. (#251)
3. missing apt-get (#252)
4. New passwd release
5. Supposed objtools failure under M1, but I think that should be fixed 
already (see #236)

#1 is very important. Should be straightforward to merge the older .info 
outside base into base, matching the updates in the bootstrapping tree. z

#2 should not be a blocker for now. Having Source-Checksum and 
Source-MD5 at the same time is OK, but fails if no SHA256 calculator is 
available.

#3 depends on what exactly apt-get is used for internally (recursive 
remove?)

#4 new passwd improves useability with adding users on macOS 12+. I 
think the current method still works on 12+, but new method behaves better.

#5 needs to be confirmed as fixed.
