[ANNOUNCE] kexec-tools v2.0.24 preparation

[RuiRui Yang]

Hi Simon,

Recently RH CKI detected a kexec/kdump failure with kexec_load being
used,  the 2nd kernel can not boot, just reset to bios/firmware
instead.

This only happens with gcc 12.x compiled kexec-tools,  add
"-fno-tree-vectorize" to purgatory/Makefile CFLAGS make the bug
dissappear, but I hope people can help to verify and confirm it does
fix the problem.   It would be better to wait a few days so that we
can fix it in the coming release, what do you think?

Cced Baoquan who is handling the issue..

Thanks!
