+1 (binding)

I skipped the OWASP test (expecting it to break).

note: some java unit tests now require java 11+ to run, which I think is
fine, but it wasn't the case in previous 3.9 releases:
- ZKTrustManagerTest
- SSLHostnameVerificationTest
- QuorumCanonicalizeTest
- StaticHostProviderTest

I did the following tests for the release candidate:
- verified checksum and gpg signature of the artifacts
- I built the source code (incl. the C-client, using -Pfull-build) on
Ubuntu 22.04.5 using OpenJDK 8u402, maven 3.9.6 and GCC version 11.4.0
- all the java unit tests passed for me
- all the C-client tests passed too
- I also built and executed unit tests for zkpython
- I also built the java code (without -Pfull-build) using other JDK
versions: 11.0.28, 17.0.16, 21.0.8, 23.0.2 (but didn't run the tests this
time, just used 'clean install -DskipTests')
- checkstyle and spotbugs passed
- apache-rat passed
- fatjar built
- I executed quick rolling-upgrade tests without SSL (using
https://github.com/symat/zk-rolling-upgrade-test):
  - rolling upgrade from 3.6.4 to 3.8.8 RC0
  - rolling upgrade from 3.7.2 to 3.8.8 RC0
  - rolling upgrade from 3.8.7 to 3.8.8 RC0
  - rolling upgrade from 3.8.8 RC0 to 3.9.7 RC0
  - rolling upgrade from 3.8.8 RC0 to 3.9.6
- I am not sure if it is still relevant, but I checked the uploaded
documentation (
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/zookeeper/zookeeper-3.8.8-candidate-1/website/index.html
)
- compared generated release notes (
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/zookeeper/zookeeper-3.8.8-candidate-1/website/releasenotes.html)
with Jira (

)
