Release 2024.09.16

Upgrade instructions

From #6212 (Control center of mass and linear momentum in initial data.):

This PR changes BinaryCompactObject, which is used in multiple parts of the code. Now, the constructor expects the argument std::array<double, 2> center_of_mass_offset.

From #6254 (Error if the time step becomes too small):

Input files for evolution executables now require a new MinimumTimeStep option in the Evolution section.

From #6247 (Add single BH control system):

Must now specify a Translation: control system in EvolveGhSingleBlackHole input files.
