Breaking changes

v2.2.0

• The default socket_vmnet group in networks.yaml was changed from everyone to admin. A non-admin user must set group to a group they belong to (e.g. staff).
• The default VM driver on Windows hosts was changed from wsl2 to qemu, as wsl2 is not compatible with most templates.
• External driver transport was reworked:
  • The Driver.FillConfig() method was removed; its logic was merged into Driver.Configure(), which now returns (*ConfiguredDriver, error).
  • The external driver gRPC server socket moved from the OS temp directory (/tmp/lima-driver-<name>-<pid>.sock) to the instance directory (~/.lima/<instance>/lima-driver-<name>.sock).
  • External driver authors must update their drivers to match the new driver.Driver interface.
