This patch updates the list of target platforms. What has changed since last
year:
- I cannot claim to be testing RHEL any more, since I don't have access
to a copy of it and since the previous clones (CentOS, AlmaLinux etc.)
can no longer sync with RHEL, due to [1].
- FreeBSD's current major version is 14.
- One of the AIX machines in the GCC compilefarm has been upgraded; I no
longer have access to AIX 7.2.
- I no longer have access to an IRIX 6.5 machine.
