    mold: update to 2.2.0.

    New features:

    - We now use BLAKE3 as a cryptographic hash function instead of SHA256.
      This change has made --build-id a few percent faster. libssl is no longer
      a build dependency.
    - mold is now a few percent faster than the previous version due to an
      optimization of string merging code path.
    - mold now emits slightly optimized code for thread-local variable accesses.
    - [RISC-V] mold now supports TLSDESC relocations. TLSDESC is a new mechanism
      for faster thread-local variable access. We (@ishitatsuyuki) actually led
      the effort to ratify the specification (riscv-non-isa/riscv-elf-psabi-doc#373)
      and implement it to compiler toolchain including GCC, GNU binutils and,
      of course, mold.

    Bug fixes and compatibility improvements:

    - mold no longer marks an as-needed .so as "needed" if the .so file is not
      directly used by the output file. Previously, mold marked a .so file as
      "needed" if the .so file was used by another "needed" .so file.
    - [PPC64] --execute-only now works on 64-bit PowerPC.
