BlackHat USA 2025 Demo Release

This release updates the minimum required Python version to 3.9, fixes some crashes, adds a number of new features including support for extracting metadata from RPM packages, along with the following BREAKING CHANGES:

• dropped support for Python 3.8
• the config_tui subcommand has been removed; its functionality has been included as part of the tui subcommand
• the createconfig subcommand has been removed; the tui provides the ability to create and modify context files in a more user friendly way
• specimen config has been renamed to specimen context: the special config: prefix has been changed to context:, and the terminology has been updated in several other places
