v24.05-beta.hardening.1

This is a beta build to test that the changes implemented in the feature/hardening branch are working properly.

This branch has implemented compiling/linking flags recommended by the Open SSF and by OWasp for all builds.
In addition to adding these extra flags, we've gone through and fixed any warnings we saw while testing to make sure they are handled properly, and future builds will also stay free of warnings.

We've also implemented SLSA provenance and are testing that with this beta build. Provenance can be verified using the SLSA verifier on Github.

Any feedback on this build is welcome so we can continue to fine tune the settings/options and build outputs.
