   Final changes for v26.1.

   Bins for rc2 have been available for 10 days and I haven’t seen any bug reports or new things to add. Includes #29610 backport for the CI, which has no effect on what goes into the release. Website PR: https://github.com/bitcoin-core/bitcoincore.org/pull/1009

5. ci: Add workaround for Homebrew's python link error

   Promoting Homebrew's python@3.12 to the default python3 breaks symbolic
   links on macOS x86_64.
   
   This change adds a workaround for that issue.
   
   Also see: https://github.com/actions/runner-images/issues/9471 etc.

6. ci, macos: Use `--break-system-packages` with Homebrew's python

   Homebrew's python@3.12 is marked as externally managed (PEP 668),
   necessitating different approaches for installing Python packages.
   
   For more details, please refer to https://github.com/orgs/Homebrew/discussions/3404.
