dotnet 9.0.0 (pre-release)

[cho-m]

Going to start pre-release testing .NET 9 to check on state of various workarounds/patches.

[cho-m]

Noting down current status:

• macOS seems okay now at 6ff4ee7. There are annoying sporadic failures which have already been reported upstream by others. May be fixed when newer bootstrap is available.

• Linux is building now, but test is showing some extra characters.

May try switching back to Clang build on Linux which is probably better supported.
