This updates the version of the vfkit binary (vfkit --version). This was forgotten in the 0.0.3 release.

• It's now possible to use multiple vsock connections to/from the VM.
• Error reporting when starting the VM is improved.
• The -timesync option can be used to detect when the host wakes up from sleep and to resync the VM time
• The built binaries can be run on macOS 11 regardless of the macOS version they were built on

This is the 2nd release of vfkit. This new version adds file sharing support on macOS 12+ (errors will be returned on macOS 11 or older). It's now built as a universal (Intel and M1) binary.

Initial release of vfkit. Provides enough functionality for testing with https://github.com/cfergeau/crc/tree/macos-vf
