Use tilde for rc tag versioning
tilde sorts lower in the version comparison spec: https://uapi-group.org/specifications/specs/version_format_specification/ ➜ systemd git:(strip) systemd-analyze compare-versions 249\~rc1 249 249\~rc1 < 249 ➜ systemd git:(strip) systemd-analyze compare-versions 249-rc1 249 249-rc1 > 249 Also update tools/meson-vcs-tag.sh to use carets instead of hyphens for the git part of the version as carets are allowed to be part of a version by pacman while hyphens are not and both sort higher than a version without the git part.

6. [RC1] Update version and library numbers in `meson.build`
7. Check dbus docs with `ninja -C build update-dbus-docs`
8. Update translation strings (`cd build`, `meson compile systemd-pot`, `meson compile systemd-update-po`) - drop the header comments from `systemd.pot` + re-add SPDX before committing. If the only change in a file is the 'POT-Creation-Date' field, then ignore that file.

+9. Tag the release: `version=vXXX~rcY && git tag -s "${version}" -m "systemd ${version}"`. Note that this uses a tilde (\~) instead of a hyphen (-) because tildes sort lower in version comparisons according to the [version format specification](https://uapi-group.org/specifications/specs/version_format_specification/), and we want `v255-rc1` to sort lower than `v255`.
10. Do `ninja -C build`
11. Make sure that the version string and package string match: `build/systemctl --version`
12. [FINAL] Close the github milestone and open a new one (https://github.com/systemd/systemd/milestones)
