Description:
sift has a slightly different focus than most other grep alternatives. Code search, log search / digital forensics and data processing are the main use cases, but the primary goal is to provide safe defaults and to make it easily configurable for a specific use case. Among the features are: - Stable releases, cross platform support - Safe defaults: sift searches everywhere if not configured otherwise - Complete & working .gitignore support - High performance for many uses cases - Support for adding custom file types to narrow down searches - Multiline support - Support for big files: >50GB, >5,000,000,000 lines and >5,000,000,000 matches successfully tested

various: Bump Go ports for 1.24.9

This is a direct commit to 2025Q4. It'll definitely bring things (esp.
PORTREVISION lines) out of sync with main, but trying to MFH the
associated bump commit would bring in a massive quantity of conflicts.
