Changes compared to v24.8.14.10544.altinitystable (fd0fddb)

Critical Bug Fixes

• Fixed crash in old analyzer if JOIN and duplicated aliases (ClickHouse#96405 by @ilejn via #1401)

Performance Improvements

• SELECT query with FINAL clause on a ReplacingMergeTree table with the is_deleted column now executes faster because of improved parallelization (ClickHouse#88090 by @shankar-iyer via #1373)

Improvements

• Allow a user to have multiple authentication methods instead of only one. Allow authentication methods to be reset to most recently added method. (ClickHouse#65277 by @arthurpassos via #1371)
