Time for an Octave.app 9.1.0 release.

Supersedes #259 (the 9.0 prerelease).

I built an Octave.app 9.1.0 with Qt 6 (using the core Homebrew qt formula) today. On both Intel and AS, it won't launch. When I double-click it, I see the quick expanding icon ghost whiz past, and then nothing else happens. Build logs attached.

Built and published a 9.1.0 beta1 release using qt5.

Test results look good:

Last time I tried it like a week ago, my build of 9.1.0, done against Qt 6, failed during the build.

Might be due to incompatibility with Qt 6.7.0, which came out recently. There are new patches for it in the core octave formula.
