Wang Mingyu ec82b31e81 python3-xxhash: upgrade 3.8.1 -> 4.0.0
License-Update: Copyright year updated to 2026

Changelog:
===========
- Breaking change: Drop support for Python 3.8, require Python >= 3.9
- Breaking change: Remove deprecated xxhash.VERSION_TUPLE
- Breaking change: The input keyword argument is renamed to data in
  constructors and one-shot functions. update() additionally gains a data
  keyword argument (it accepted no keyword arguments before).
- Breaking change: str input is no longer accepted and raises TypeError:
  Strings must be encoded before hashing; encode to bytes before hashing
- Upgrade xxHash from v0.8.2 to v0.8.3. Note: on GCC/Clang source builds that
  target AVX2 (e.g. -march=x86-64-v3), upstream v0.8.3 autovectorizes
  XXH64_update() and makes the xxh64 streaming path about 2x slower. The shipped
  wheels are built for baseline x86-64 and are unaffected. Source builds can work
  around it by adding -fno-tree-vectorize to the compiler flags.
- Add per-object locking for thread safety, with sub-interpreter and
  free-threaded (no-GIL) Python support. The GIL is now released only while
  hashing inputs larger than 64 KiB; previously update() released it
  unconditionally and one-shot functions always held it.
- Speed up hash constructors by switching them to tp_vectorcall.
- Build pyodide wasm32 wheels
- Add s390x big-endian test job
- Add Python 3.15 classifier
- CI: shard the PyPI upload into parallel groups and create the GitHub Release
  automatically
