enabled.
Speed up parsing of DNS messages with many different names.

e/emacs-29.2-x86_64-2.txz: Rebuilt.
Compiled with support for pdumper and native compilation.
The emacs-no-x11 binary has been dropped from the package because when
pdumper is used the support files need to be matched to a specific binary.
If you need a non-X console version of Emacs (or just want to reduce the
footprint) a traditional build is available in /extra.
Thanks to drgibbon who requested this long ago. :-)
Thanks to Didier Spaier for the sample build script.
l/libnvme-1.8-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
xap/xlockmore-5.75-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
extra/emacs-regular-build/emacs-29.2-x86_64-2_regular.txz: Added.
A "regular" build of Emacs like was previously in the main tree, with a
version supporting X11/GTK+3, and a non-X console version.

Don't specify --with-browseremoteprotocols=cups in order to get the default
values of cups and dnssd, which should enable discovering shared printers on
the network. We'll refrain from sharing your printer -- you'll need to change
that setting yourself. ;-)
Thanks to TurboBlaze.

The new --disable-imageProcessor-build option doesn't do squat, so we'll hit
