[gdal-dev] Motion: Adopt GDAL 3.9.1RC1 as 3.9.1 release

[Even Rouault]

There's also a 2 business days phase after the motion has been initiated 
before declaring it passed, which will lead to us after the week end, so 
if someone finds something critical enough, that can still be taken into 
account. Hard to know if people will test or not, and how much time they 
need.

complains about setup.py

yeah... Someone brave enough might try to switch the build process to 
use pip install. But that'd definitely require changing some development 
workflows.

Proper test execution requires the pytest.ini file to be generated, 
which is a CMake generated artifact. The error messages you pasted 
inline are clearly related to that (pytest tries to run some python 
files that aren't designed to be run as tests, and might require h5py 
which is normally not needed for only test excutions). I suspect the 
ones in the attached file might also be due to that. So if using the 
release tarballs, you need to untar/unzip gdal-autotest-3.9.1 in a 
subdirectory of gdal-3.9.1 and make sure that subdirectory is called 
"autotest" (to get the same organization as the git tree). Then from the 
build directory, you can run ctest.
