Release v0.9.7

This is a maintanance release of the previous "final" v0.9.6 because
v0.10 will be delayed a little longer.

It provides support building for kernel 6.12 and later. It also adds new
hardware support quirks and compatibility fix-ups. Although the list of
changes seems long and accumulated over some time, there are no
functional changes. Also, DKMS problems (like xpadneo missing after a
kernel update or kernel hanging on boot because xpadneo is not built)
should finally be fixed.

**Heads up, package maintainers:** Upcoming xpadneo v0.10 will provide a
new make-based installer to make usage in packaging scripts easier and
more streamlined. See `docs/PACKAGING.md` in the master branch for more
details.

Headlines:

  * core, quirks: Add GameSir T4 Nova Lite support
  * core, quirks: Add GuliKit KK3 MAX quirks
  * core, quirks: Add heuristics to detect GameSir Nova controllers
  * hid-xpadneo: Actually allow building with kernel 6.12
