Towards 3.0.6

3.0.6 Milestone: https://osdn.net/projects/freeciv/ticket/milestone/3604
3.0.6 might be closer than anticipated. It's been a bit of a "you have to run to stay in the same place" time since 3.0.5 release.
- Latest libcurl release complains about freeciv's usage of long-deprecated API
- gcc-13 (to be officially released April 2023) gave one new error by default when building freeciv
- When gcc-13 used in a mode enabling draft of the new C23 standard (or C2x, which is expected to get realized as C23), there's a couple of build failures
- g++-13 c++23 standard mode (affecting Qt-client and ruledit build) is still to be tested.
I'd like a 3.0.6 release addressing these out relatively soon, especially for bleeding edge linux distributions to take in.
Also 2.6.8 release addressing these issues (among other fixes) is in consideration.
