Release 2022.11.15

Upgrade instructions

From #4163 (Introduce electron fraction to GrMhd modules):

The electron fraction needed to be added to all tests, and interfaces involved GrMhd routines. This might affect existing codes calling any GrMhd function that is not included in the development branch.

From #4299 (Remove CCE dependency from Interpolation):

src/ParallelAlgorithms/Interpolation/Callbacks/SendGhWorldtubeData.hpp has been moved to src/Evolution/Systems/Cce/SendGhWorldtubeData.hpp

From #2690 (Remove redundant SPECTRE_MACOSX_MIN option):

If you're building on macOS, check if you are configuring CMake with the MACOSX_MIN option. If you do, replace it with the standard CMAKE_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET. You may also want to use this option if you are getting "built for newer macOS version than being linked" warnings.

From #4357 (Gh mesh velocity damping):

The generalized-harmonic time derivative and characteristic speeds now take additional parameters because of the newly introduced dependence on the mesh velocity.
