v0.3.6

This release lowers the minimum Go version to Go 1.18 as well as some library dependencies, in order to make it easier for folks that need to backport patches using the new filepath-securejoin API onto branches that are stuck using old Go compilers. For users using Go >= 1.21, this release contains no functional changes.

• The minimum Go version requirement for filepath-securejoin is now Go 1.18 (we use generics internally).

  For reference, [email protected] somewhat-arbitrarily bumped the Go version requirement to 1.21.

  While we did make some use of Go 1.21 stdlib features (and in principle Go versions <= 1.21 are no longer even supported by upstream anymore), some downstreams have complained that the version bump has meant that they have to do workarounds when backporting fixes that use the new filepath-securejoin API onto old branches. This is not an ideal situation, but since using this library is probably better for most downstreams than a hand-rolled workaround, we now have compatibility shims that allow us to build on older Go versions.

• Lower minimum version requirement for golang.org/x/sys to v0.18.0 (we need the wrappers for fsconfig(2)), which should also make backporting patches to older branches easier.
