liboqs release candidate 2

Because #2310 changed the list of LMS variants under the build flag OQS_ENABLE_SIG_STFL_LMS, a second release candidate is necessary. The target release day is Monday, Nov 10.

If we push back a release because of a fix to a bug reported in April, I'd then argue we should also include in 0.15.0 an improvement from this month (#2312) easing the (integration) life of users. PR is ready to merge but I'd leave it to you @xuganyu96 to merge and include or not.

I want to push back against including #2312.

"...push back a release because of a fix to a bug reported in April" was not my intention. Some miscommunication caused #2310 to land before I could remove the "release candidate 1" tags and do the full 0.15.0 release. Perhaps in the next status call we could briefly discuss how to do some kind of "merge freeze" between release candidate and full release.

My motivation for seeing this included is that it fixes a bug in terms of which algorithms are available in the build configuration -- and availability of algorithms is kind of a "top-level" line item feature.

@baentsch I need one more approval to merge this pull request. Thank you.

@xuganyu96 you got it from @ashman-p : As this is LMS-related, his approval is the relevant one.
