sysutils/limine: Update 10.0.0 => 10.0.1

Changelog:
 Bug fixes:
  - Fix a potential use-after-free issue when flushing interrupts on x86
    UEFI systems.
  - Prefer using the 32-bit Linux protocol unless it is strictly
    necessary to use the 64-bit protocol due to allocation constraints.
    This is due to reports of the 32-bit protocol being more reliable
    on certain rare systems where the 64-bit protocol crashes or hangs.
