SwiftWasm 6.1 release

[kateinoigakukun]

TODO:

• Check core libraries and tools are compatible with the toolchain
  • JavaScriptKit Add CI matrix for Swift 6.1 JavaScriptKit#331
  • carton: We no longer distribute toolchains in favor of Swift SDK, so no need to update default toolchain version.
• Dispatch distribution workflow

gh workflow run manual-distribution.yml -f run-id=$RC_RUN_ID -f scheme=release-6.1 -f override-name=swift-wasm-6.1-RELEASE -R swiftwasm/swift

(Replace $RC_RUN_ID with the GitHub Actions run id of swiftwasm-build repository for the release candidate build)

After tagging the toolchain version

• Release a new version of JavaScriptKit
• Release a new version of carton
• Update the setup guide in https://github.com/swiftwasm/swiftwasm-book/blob/main/src/getting-started/setup.md
  • swiftwasm/swiftwasm-book@69e0963
• Announcement blog post
  • https://blog.swiftwasm.org/posts/6-1-released/
