[gdal-dev] GDAL 3.9.0beta1 available for testing

[thomas bonfort]

All OK with https://github.com/airbusgeo/godal 's test suite, with changes
that did have to be made to account for the default gtiff mask band
handling (I believe this change should have been kept back until 4.0. I am
not asking for it to be reverted)

regards,
TB
