Release Proposal for version 2.6.0

[PragmaTwice]

Refer to https://kvrocks.apache.org/community/create-a-release.

Now I propose to release Apache Kvrocks version 2.6.0 (a feature release). It has been over two months since the last feature release (2.5.0), and many exciting new features and fixes have been merged into the unstable branch.

All commits on unstable until 3092081 (included) will be considered as commits for this release, but XGROUP related commands will be disabled to avoid confusing users (this is because the implementation of XGROUP is currently far from complete).

The deadline for the cherry-picking period has been set as September 22, 2023, at 20:00 UTC+8. No new commits will be accepted after this time.

Feel free to leave your comments about this release : )

Note:

1. We've upgrade RocksDB, but I think it's ok because it just contain some bugfixes ( Bump rocksdb from v8.3.2 to v8.3.3 and change the default value of rocksdb.level_compaction_dynamic_level_bytes from no to yes #1725 )
2. We've set the default arg for max-io-mb, this need to be in document Change the default value of max-io-mb to 0 (unlimited) #1713
3. Though bloom is supported, but I think we didn't test bloom with slot-migration, it's still limited

Also, we can upgrade rocksdb to latest after release as #1725 talks :-)

As @mapleFU mentioned, the bloom filter won't be affected by slot migration (and I guess replication as well, but I'm not sure).

We can mention this limitation in our release logs.

I agree. Bloom can be labeled experimental
