[SPDK] [Release] 24.05: NVMe in-band authentication, keyring lib, blob shallow copy

On behalf of the SPDK community I'm pleased to announce the release of SPDK=
 24.05 !

This release contains the following new features:

- NVMe In-Band Authentication: NVMe driver and NVMe-oF target now supports =
DH-HMAC-CHAP protocol for in-band authentication.
- Keyring Library: New library responsible for providing access to cryptogr=
aphic keys. The module interface is pluggable with keyring_file and keyring=
_linux modules implemented.
- Blobstore Shallow Copy: Enables copying of read-only blobs such that only=
 allocated clusters are written on the device. This functionality extends t=
o logical volumes.
- DIF Operations in Accel: Accel now supports verify-copy operation for Dat=
a Integrity Field (DIF) computation. Supported by software and DSA accel mo=
dules.
- NVMe-oF mDNS Pull Registration Requests: Support added for mDNS-based dis=
covery of NVMe-oF target for TCP transport.
- RAID1 I/O Error Handling: RAID1 can now recover from I/O errors when redu=
ndancy permits.
