Release 2024.06.18

Upgrade instructions

From #6024 (FindHorizon.py: also compute horizon quantities):

The FindHorizons3D executable was removed. You can find horizons in 3D volume data in Python like this:

from spectre.Pipelines.Bbh.FindHorizon import find_horizon
from spectre.SphericalHarmonics import Strahlkorper

horizon, quantities = find_horizon(
    h5_files, subfile_name, obs_id, obs_time,
    initial_guess=Strahlkorper(l_max, m_max, radius, center)
)

mass = quantities["ChristodoulouMass"]
spin = quantities["DimensionlessSpinMagnitude"]
