Chef Infra Client 18.4.12 Released!

[chef-ci]

We are delighted to announce the availability of version 18.4.12 of Chef Infra Client.

Compliance Phase Improvements

• Bump inspec-core and inspec-core-bin to 5.22.40 - this picks up inspec/inspec#6916 - remove dependency on active-support function blank?
• Avoid DeepMergeCache flap in Chef::Node#loaded_recipe - thanks @dafyddcrosby

Resource Updates

• Remove deprecated _blacklist attributes

Packaging

• Add Amazon Linux 2023 as a build target, for aarch64 and x86_64 platforms./
• Fix bigdecimal error with webmock/crack in macOS and AIX builds - bigdecimal is a default gem that has been removed from default gems for 3.4.0, which appears to cause gem resolution conflicts.
• Unbound ffi gem - allow ffi gem to go past ~> 1.15.5 again. Updated to 1.16.3
